Mi corazón lo invade una pena
Oye mujer preciosa merideña
Nunca pensé darte mi corazón
Linda mujer escucha este poema
Mi corazón lo invade una pena
Oye mujer preciosa merideña
Y la suave caricia de la Sierra
Se acerca hasta tu rostro tan puro y virginal
Y en la plaza Bolívar merideña donde jure
No dejarte de amar
Y la suave caricia de la Sierra
Se acerca hasta tu rostro tan puro y virginal
Y en la plaza Bolívar merideña donde juré
No dejarte de amar
Y la suave caricia de la Sierra
Se acerca hasta tu rostro tan puro y virginal
Y en la plaza Bolívar merideña donde juré
No dejarte de amar
