Desde que nacimos
Nuestra mancha de plátano salió del mismo racimo
Somos hermanos del mismo horizonte
Todos nos criamos en la falda del monte
Crecimos, pero pa' que otro se aproveche
Somos un pueblo con dientes de leche
Los hijos del trabajo sin merienda
La limonada para el capataz de la hacienda
Todo lo que sobrevive
Somos la ca?a fermentada del Caribe
Pero aunque la historia nos azota
Somos como una botella de vidrio que flota
La central Aguirre la pusimo' a producir
Sin saber leer ni escribir
Y la depresión la curamos sin jarabe
Porque caminamos al compás de la clave
Nuestra raza por naturaleza es brava
Salimos de la tapa de un volcán con lava
No hay identidad dicen algunos
Pero aquí todos llevamos en la espalda el número 21
Aprendimos a caminar hace rato
Con un pie descalzo y el otro con zapato
Con la medalla del cacique en la casa de empe?o
Somos los due?os de un país sin due?o
Hijos del ca?averal
Nunca se nos cae la pava
Esta raza siempre es brava
Aunque sople el temporal
Pa' que sientas el calibre
De un caballo sin ginete
Mira como corre libre
Se refleja en el machete
Somos el rocio cuando se desayuna
Somos la marea cuando baila con la luna
Nos secamos el sudor con el viento sin toalla
Nos perfumamos con la sal de la playa
Cuando el sol cuelga las nubes en el tendedero
De agua de coco son los aguaceros
Y so?amos desde la misma orilla
Sin perder el camino porque aquí los cucubanos brillan
Viene el huracán y le rezamos a la cruz
Y jugamos brisca cuando se va la luz
El calor nos calienta la cerveza
Y nos ba?amos en el lago
Hasta que abran la represa
Aquí los viernes santo se come yautia
Aquí los reyes magos vienen de Juana Díaz
Pelamos paragüas a los difuntos
Y en las patronales en la caja e' muerto nos mariamos juntos
Lo nuestro no hay nadie que nos los quite
Por más nieve que tiren aquí la nieve se derrite
Aunque siembren las raíces como les de la gana
Los palos de güanabana no dan manzanas
Hijos del ca?averal
Nunca se nos cae la pava
Esta raza siempre es brava
Aunque sople el temporal
Pa' que sientas el calibre
De un caballo sin ginete
Mira como corre libre
Se refleja en el machete
Hijos del ca?averal
Nunca se nos cae la pava
Esta raza siempre es brava
Aunque sople el temporal
Pa' aprender a defendernos nunca fuimos a la escuela
Aunque el toro tenga cuernos, nuestro gallo tiene espuelas
A latigazo limpio desde el descubrimiento
No pudieron, seguimos con el mismo acento
Nuestro aguante a sido digno
Somos los versos que no cantan en nuestro himno
Hay que soltar los barcos del muelle
Esta carreta ya se mueve sin bueye
Al colono los bajaremos del trono
Pa' que nuestra bandera cante en un solo tono
En el cuatro Luisito Sans
En el bongó Antony Carrillo
¡Háblale a los santos, dale!
