En todo tiempo cuando a la
calle sales, mi reina,
tu pueblo amado se ha
confundido en un solo amor,
amor inmenso, glorioso,
excelso, sublime y tierno,
amor celeste divinizado hacia
tu bondad.
Madre mía, si el gobierno
no ayuda al pueblo zuliano,
tendréis que meter la mano
y mandarlo pa'l infierno. (Bis)
La grey zuliana cual rosario popular
de rodillas va a implorar a su patrona,
y una montaña de oraciones quiere dar
esta gaita magistral que el saladillo la entona. (Bis)
Tu pueblo te pide ahora
madre mía, lo ayudéis
y que fortuna le deis,
con mucho amor te lo implora. (Bis)
La grey zuliana...
Acabaron con la plata
y se echaron a reír,
pero les puede salir
el tiro por la culata. (Bis)
La grey zuliana...
Maracaibo ha dando tanto
que debiera de tener
carreteras a granel
con morocotas de canto. (Bis)
La grey zuliana...
