En tu puerta, Teresa, canta un canario, échale cañamones que cante claro. Cambrú, Cambrú, serenado, serenadito, Cambrú que a los pies de la cama llora el niño de la U, y su madre le dice: ea, vaya, calla, no llores, que viene el bú, serenadito, Cambú. Al arrullo, al arrullo, duerme mi niño; duerme mi niño duerme, duerme al arrullo.

An deiner Tür, Teresa, singt ein Kanarienvogel, wirf ihm Hanfsamen zu, auf dass er lieblich singt. Cambrú, Cambrú, ein Wiegenlied, ein kleines Wiegenlied, cambru, denn am Fuß des Bettes weint das Kind des U, und seine Mutter sagt: Nun dann, nun dann, sei still und wein’ nicht mehr, sonst kommt der schwarze Mann im Nu, mein Wiegenlied, Cambú. Beim Wiegenlied, beim Wiegenlied schlaf, mein Kind; schlaf mein Kindlein, schlaf schlaf beim Wiegenlied.
