¡Cómo te recuerdo, changuito riojano!
Los ojos redondos que a gatas escuenden
Lo que vais pensando
Ojos sin tristezas, porque han aprendido
Mirándolo al campo, que es ley de los hombres
Sufrir los rigores chiflando
Y porque ya sabes en tu pocos años
Que el placer no es chaya ni el trabajo es malo
Y es linda la vida si bien la miramos
¡Cómo te recuerdo, changuito riojano!
Te vais a traer aguas con los dos barriles
Que lleva tu burro mezquinando el tranco
Si por ahí columbras algún pajarito
Parao de un árbol, te sacáis la honda
Que lleváis al pecho, te vais acercando
Y cuando yacito lo vais hacer polvo
Te quedáis quietito, mirando
Porque la avecilla te ha soltao un canto
Tan lindo, tan raro, como si al mirarte
Se hubiera alegrado y cantando mesmo
Le hiciera una fiesta pa' su amigo chango
¡Cómo te recuerdo, changuito riojano!
Me parece verte mesmito que un tordo
Sobre un burro viejo pasar por las huertas
Chiflando, ir a la represa
Mirar los naranjos, pillar de las ramas
La dorada fruta que te brinda el árbol
Y seguir después para La Quebrada
Tranquiando, tranquiando
¡Cómo te recuerdo, changuito riojano!
