Yo soy el punto cubano
Que en la manigua vivía
Cuando el mambí se batía
Con el machete en la mano
Tengo un poder soberano
Que me lo dio la sabana
De cantarle a la mañana
Brindándole mi saludo
A la palma, al escudo
Y a mi bandera cubana

Por eso canto a las flores
Y a la mañana que inspira
Le canto a Cuba querida
La tierra de mis amores

Soy la linda melodía
Que en el campestre retiro,
Siempre le llevo al guajiro
La esperanza y la alegría
En noches de romería
Inspiro a los trovadores,
Cantantes y bailadores
Gozan con el zapateo
Y se olvidan de Morfeo
Para tributarme honores

Ahora me encuentro en La Habana
Entre orquestas y he gustado,
De cha-cha-chá disfrazado
Pongo una nota cubana
Aquí como en la sabana
Mi música fraternal
Viene del cañaveral
Representando al mambí,
A la tierra de Martí
Y a la Enseña Nacional
