Para comenzar mi nombre, mi nombre es uno cualquiera
Yo me llamo Justo, Pancho o Antonio, Tirso o Manuel
O José, Juan de los santos o Nelson o Rafael
Mi nombre es un cascabel que suena como advertencia
Y si lo escuchan prudencia que yo respondo por él
Y siguiendo con la trova mi lugar de nacimiento
De toditos soy paisano de las vegas conuquero
De los hatos sabanero de los caseríos pueblano
Soy del meta y araucano barines casanareño
Del guarico y apureño señores yo soy del llano
Naci hace tiempos cuñao nací cuando el indio recio
Se le encaramó a un potranco
Con la enseñanza de un blanco
Que era jinete andaluz y con la espada y la cruz
Recorrió esta tierra brava
Soltaba cabas altivas
Regó las lenguas que hablaba e hizo barinas petribas
Y me formé como el tiempo que tiene invierno y verano
Bajo la luna y el sol entre tímido y fachoso
Entre confiao y malicioso entre serio y retozón
Soy pequeño y barrigón catire o negro serrano
Realengo o aguajibao y siempre guachamarón
Recé por los misioneros y les pastorié el ganao
Mate el tigre crucé el rio paré pueblos fundé hatos
De la guitarra hice el cuatro y del romance el corrio
Forme un lenguaje florio medio español medio achagua
Tengo de fuego y de agua todo lo que miro es mio
Soy rico sin tener nada pues tengo solo esta tierra
Y si es por ganar los reales, yo enlazo paro corrales
Amanso potros o arreo marisco cachilapeo
Jalo peinilla tiro hacha menpauto mercachifleo
Juego en malas o en las anchas o esperando chinchorreo
Gozo en la brava faena y hago fiesta de la muerte
Y es que yo me tiento y hayo rasqueando un tiple cachorro
Frente a las puntas de un toro o en los lomos de un caballo
Corriendo de abril a mayo registrando una bandola
Bailando seis y chipola hembriando y jugando gallos
Me caben acá en el pecho todas las cosas del llano
Quiero a mi potro y al rejo quiero al cimarrón esquivo
Quiero mi suelta mi estribo quiero a mi mama y al viejo
Quiero a los hijos que dejo como a mi canto regao
Quiero a esta negra de al lao y esa catira de lejos
Como tengo el aire altivo de quien se crió libre y solo
He peliado muchas guerras y con mi lanza tigrera
Subí al cielo y a la gloria puse a galopar la historia
En el pantano de Vargas y luego con Guadalupe
Emparejamos las cargas perdió la ley nunca supe
Y ahora que miro mis cosas destiñéndose y perdidas
Me pesan, compa los años se está acabando el hechizo
Y la magia que me hizo se pierde entre tanto extraño
Me la hago entre desengaño pero grito mientras puedo
No hay otro como el llanero ni otra tierra como el llano.
