Fuiste cuna de Poimas y Anapoimas
Acoges a la inmensa humanidad
Te conviertes en toda una heredad
De quien viene a tus puertas a llamar

De la tribu Panche eres su hija
De los bravos Tolimas eres nieta
De la raza caribe heredera
Y de honrosa estirpe ancestral

Manantial de vida amor y paz
Salud de quien quiera en ti vivir
Amanecer de luz y de solaz
Aseguras eterno porvenir

Cuanto quieres a tus hijos
Y a quien te viene a buscar
Que amorosa le ofreces cobijo
Y hasta el alma le llegas a sanar (bis)

ANAPOIMA, ANAPOIMA
Sol de la eterna juventud
