Ya me canso de llorar y no amanece 
Ya no sé si maldecirte o por ti rezar 
Tengo miedo de buscarte y de encontrarte 
Donde me aseguran mis amigos que te vas 

Hay momentos en que quisiera mejor rajarme 
Y arrancarme ya los clavos de mi penar 
Pero mis ojos se mueren sin mirar tus ojos 
Y mi cariño con la aurora te vuelve a esperar 

Ya agarraste por tu cuenta las parrandas 
Paloma negra, paloma negra, dónde, dónde andarás 
Ya no juegues con mi honra parrandera 
Si tus caricias deben ser mías, de nadie más 

Y aunque te amo con locura, ya no vuelvas 
Paloma negra eres la reja de un penar 
Quiero ser libre, vivir mi vida con quien me quiera 
Dios dame fuerzas, me estoy muriendo
Dios dame fuerzas, me estoy muriendo por irlo a buscar
