Un pueblito bueno, Tabio colonial,/ cubierto de sauces, de flores y acacias / sentirás por dentro la gran libertad,/ libertad del ruido del robo y maldad, / de todos los males que trae la ciudad/   …Porque nuestros hijos siempre lucharán, / que sigas teniendo tu tranquilidad.

Lyrics extracted from songHerencias de Tabio (Armando Junca)
