Aguatera del zanjón
¡Alhaja niña morena!
Fuego de selva en los ojos
Y música en las caderas
Desde la acequia a tu rancho
Bajo el rigor de la siesta
Arena, Sol y algarrobos
En tu tierra santiagueña
Aguatera del zanjón
Eres la misma morena
Que yo he visto en Sumamao
Promesando a San Esteban
Yo te he mirado, bailando
En la carpa de la fiesta
Con tu vestido floreado
Y un moño rojo en la trenza
Pañuelo sabio de zambas
Ala en tu mano morena
Y despertando caprichos
Al zarandear chacareras
Huarminita de los montes
Virgen runa de la selva
Arena, Sol, algarrobos
Y un cántaro en la cabeza
Alguna vez en la vida
Volveré por esa senda
Haciendo el mismo camino
Entre tu rancho y la acequia
Y he de saludarte al paso
Aguatera santiagueña
Mientras cantan los coyuyos
En el rigor de la siesta
