"La grey zuliana" is a well-known Venezuelan gaita, and is regarded by some as the "Anthem of the Gaiteros" (Venezuelan gaita musicians). It was composed by Ricardo Aguirre,[1] and was first recorded in 1968 by its author with the group Saladillo.[2]


The lyrics to the song are as follows:

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, divino y santo hacia tu bondad.


Madre mía, si el gobierno

no ayuda al pueblo zuliano,

tendréis que meter la mano

y mandarlo pa'l infierno. (Bis)


[Chorus]:

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)


Chorus


Acabaron con la plata

y se echaron a reír,

pero les puede salir

el tiro por la culata. (Bis)


Chorus


Maracaibo ha dando tanto

que debiera de tener

carreteras a granel

con morocotas de canto. (Bis)


Chorus
