A cheerful song about goose herder Rodrigo Martinez, who imagines himself as a shepherd of a herd of cows.
There is no relation to the real Rodrigo Martinez, a Leonese nobleman and military leader of the 12th century, does not have.

Rodrigo Martínez
a las ánsares, ¡he!
pensando qu`eran vacas,
silvávalas, ¡He!

Rodrigo Martínez,
atán garrido,
los tus ansarinos
liévalos el río
¡ Ahé!
Pensando qu`eran vacas,
silvávalas, ¡he!
