Santa Marta, Barranquilla y Cartagena
Son tres perlas que brotaron en la arena
Tres estrellas de mar del Mar Caribe
Que descansan en la orilla de la playa
En el bello amanecer de su bahía
Se refleja en Santa Marta su alegría
Su nostalgia, Su historia, Su hidalguía
Su leyenda de amor, su melodía
Al morir el imponente Magdalena
Barranquilla la arenosa se levanta
Alegría en carnaval su ambiente
Llena armonía de color su pueblo encanta
Consentida, orgullosa y venerada
Cartagena la heroica está dormida
Paraíso de piratas acosada
Hoy descansa feliz tierra querida
Santa Marta, Barranquilla y Cartagena
Son tres perlas que brotaron en la arena
Tres estrellas de mar del Mar Caribe
Que descansan en la orilla de la playa
En la costa del Caribe tierra mía
De palmeras, de sal, de fina arena
Hay tres perlas con luz de fantasía
Santa Marta, Barranquilla y Cartagena
Santa Marta, Barranquilla y Cartagena
Son tres perlas que brotaron en la arena
Tres estrellas de mar del Mar Caribe
Que descansan en la orilla de la playa
En la costa del Caribe tierra mía
De palmeras, de sal, de fina arena
Hay tres perlas con luz de fantasía
Santa Marta, Barranquilla y Cartagena
El castillo de San Felipe en Cartagena
Y San Pedro Alejandrino en Santa Marta
Conocer Puerto Colombia en Barranquilla
Santa Marta, Barranquilla y Cartagena
Visitar a Boca Chica en Cartagena
Resbalar en Rodadero en Santa Marta
Recorrer paseo Bolívar en Barranquilla
Santa Marta, Barranquilla y Cartagena
San Basilio de Palenque en Cartagena
Caminar su camellón en Santa Marta
En el río y su malecón en Barranquilla
Santa Marta, Barranquilla y Cartagena
Y la playa de Marbella en Cartagena
Y la punta de Betín en Santa Marta
Soledad y Pacho Galán en Barranquilla
Santa Marta, Barranquilla y Cartagena
