(bis) A mí cánteme un bambuco de esos que llegan al alma, cantos que ya me alegraban cuando apenas decia mama. Lo demas será bonito pero el corazón no salta, como cuando a mí me cantan una canción colombiana. Ay! que orgulloso me siento de haber nacido en mi patria. (bis) Y para mí una muchacha aperladita y morena, o una rubia de ojos claros de suave piel montañera. Muchachas, música y trago de la sierra o de mi llano, Ay! que orgulloso me siento de ser un buen colombiano Ay! que orgulloso me siento de haber nacido en Colombia!
