Guaraguao guapariru
Guaraguao guapariru gua
Voy llegando a mi pueblo y vengo llorando
Porque yo se muy bien lo que esta pasando
Me voy imaginando al compa Igenaro
Sudando bajo el sol por 4 centavos
Esta es la realidad de nuestros paises no esperes que finalize porque no va a terminar
Latinoamericano llego la hora que esta gente explotadora la tenemos que...
Guaraguao guapariru
Guaraguao guapariru
Guaraguao guapariru gua
Voy mirando las calles estan basillas
Solo siento el calor del sol medio dia
Calvos se ven los campos sin la alegria
Solo se siente el ruido de compania
Esta es la realidad de nuestros paises no esperes que finalize porque no va a terminar
Latinoamericano llego la hora que esta gente explotadora la tenemos que...
Guaraguao guapariru
Guaraguao guapariru
Guaraguao guapariru gua
El hombre campesino sigue pisado
Por los terratenientes acaudalados
El hombre artifundista son los esclavos
Esclavos de la tierra que le han quitado
Esta es la realidad de nuestros paises no esperes que finalize porque no va a terminar
Latinoamericano llego la hora que esta gente explotadora la tenemos que...
Guaraguao guapariru
Guaraguao guapariru
Guaraguao guapariru gua
Ahora estoy en mi pueblo y mi sangre llama
Luchar hasta el final pa lograr las ganas
Ganas de ver las tierras Venezolanas
Libres de la invacion Yankee americana
Esta es la realidad de nuestros paises no esperes que finalize porque no va a terminar
Latinoamericano llego la hora que esta gente explotadora la tenemos que...
Guaraguao guapariru
