Cuando andaba en mis pagos de usutas
Feliz vivía
(Por la sendita angosta del cerro
Iba y venía)
Cuando andaba en mis pagos de usutas
Feliz vivía
(Por la sendita angosta del cerro
Iba y venía)
Con mis sueños de mozo yo anduve
Tierras lejanas
(Y la dejé a mi senda
Solita y abandonada)
Con mis sueños de mozo yo anduve
Tierras lejanas
(Y la dejé a mi senda
Solita y abandonada)
Cien leguas andaré
Con dicha o padecer
(Pero a la abandonada sendita
¡Nunca olvidaré!)
Cien leguas andaré
Con dicha o padecer
(Pero a la abandonada sendita
¡Nunca olvidaré!)
Cuando uno es chango tiene en la vida
Dicha serena
(Y al pasar los años todito
Se vuelve pena)
Cuando uno es chango tiene en la vida
Dicha serena
(Y al pasar los años todito
Se vuelve pena)
Los quebradeños dicen que el bien
No es conocido
(Hasta que llega el caso y por algo
Se lo ha perdido)
Los quebradeños dicen que el bien
No es conocido
(Hasta que llega el caso y por algo
Se lo ha perdido)
Cien leguas andaré
Con dicha o padecer
(Pero a la abandonada sendita
¡Nunca olvidaré!)
Cien leguas andaré
Con dicha o padecer
(Pero a la abandonada sendita
¡Nunca olvidaré!)
