De mi tierra bella, de mi tierra santa
Oigo ese grito de los tambores
Y los timbales al cumbanchar
Y ese pregón que canta un hermano
Que de su tierra vive lejano
Y que el recuerdo le hace llorar
Una canción que vive entonando
De su dolor de su propio llanto
Y se le escucha penar

La tierra te duele, la tierra te da
En medio del alma, cuando tú no estás
La tierra te empuja de raíz y cal
La tierra suspira si no te ve más

La tierra donde naciste
No la puedes olvidar 
Porque tiene tus raíces
Y lo que dejas atrás

La tierra te duele, la tierra te da
En medio del alma, cuando tú no estás

Siguen los pregones, la melancolía
Y cada noche junto a la luna
Sigue el guajiro entonando el son
Y cada calle que va a mi pueblo
Tiene un quejido, tiene un lamento
Tiene nostalgia como su voz
Y esa canción que sigue entonando
Corre en la sangre y sigue llegando
Con más fuerza al corazón

La tierra te duele, la tierra te da
En medio del alma, cuando tú no estás
La tierra te empuja de raíz y cal
La tierra suspira si no te ve más

Tiene un quejido (mi tierra)
Tiene un lamento (mi tierra)
Nunca la olvido (mi tierra)
La llevo en mi sentimiento, si señor (mi tierra)
Oigo ese grito (mi tierra)
Vive el recuerdo (mi tierra)
Corre en mi sangre (mi tierra)

La llevo por dentro como no (mi tierra)
Canto de mi tierra bella y santa (mi tierra)
Sufro ese dolor que hay en su alma (mi tierra)
Aunque esté lejos yo la siento (mi tierra)
Y un día regreso yo lo sé

Siguen los pregones, la melancolía (mi tierra)
Y cada noche junto a la luna (mi tierra)
Sigue el guajiro entonando el son (mi tierra)
Y cada calle que va a mi pueblo (mi tierra)
Tiene un quejido, tiene un lamento (mi tierra)
La nostalgia de su voz (mi tierra)
Me llega con fuerza al corazón (mi tierra)

La tierra te duele, la tierra te da
En medio del alma, cuando tú no estás
La tierra te empuja de raíz y cal
La tierra suspira si no te ve más
