Por qué negar tu cuna campesino
Why deny your peasant cradle
Tu cuna de guano y aspereza
Your cradle of guano and roughness
Tu cuna de sol y de maleza
Your cradle of sun and weeds
¿Tu cuna de andar por el camino?
Your cradle to walk on the road?
Por qué negar tu piel y ese cantío
Why deny your skin and that song
De gallos cantautores en tu fiesta
Of songwriter roosters at your party
Matinal, junto a esa orquesta
Morning, next to that orchestra
¿De monte, manantial y río?
From mountains, springs and rivers?
Y es que tengo el corazón
And it is that I have the heart
Hecho de tierra y semilla
Made of soil and seed
Y es que se la maravilla
And it is that I know the wonder
De estrechar tu mano de noble sudor

Y es que puedo alzar la voz
And it is that I can raise my voice
Y cantarle a lo que admiras
And sing to what you admire
A esta música guajira

Como mi guitarra, mi garganta y yo
Like my guitar, my throat and me
Y es que tengo el corazón

Y no importa que haya gente

Que desprecie nuestro nido

Si el sol sale repartido

Mientras que el sinsonte intente

Competir con nuestra lira
