Por estos cuatro caminos volaron cuatro guacabas, Por estos cuatro caminos de la llanura tostada. Por estos cuatro caminos se perdieron cuatro garzas, En busca de un pozo verde Que el chaparral se chupaba. Por estos cuatro caminos de la señera guitarra, Por estos cuatro caminos yo voy a buscar mi alma.
