Conoci a una linda colombiana
Y me quede me quede con las ganas
De casarme con esa chiquilla
Amparito, amparito
Te olvidaste del negrito
Tu maracuchito
Amparito, amparito
Yo estaba buscando por
Toda colombia te estaba esperando
Porque yo pensaba tener
Con las ganas con el corazon
Amparito baila con soltura
Que es de ese rito mi hermano
Se que es del venezolano
Amparito, amparito
Te olvidaste del negrito
Tu maracuchito
Amparito, amparito
Yo estaba buscando por
Toda colombia te estaba esperando
Porque yo pensaba tener
Con las ganas con el corazon
