Por el camino va Malinche
Paso de polvo y canela
Mira que voy buscando
Por el camino a mi corazón
Vengo con mi promesa
Buscando ceiba y el caracol
Mira que juega ese malacate
Mira que come ese camarón
De la costa viene caminando
Con paso libre tono de mar
La morena una rede carga
Medalla de oro y de coral
Por el camino va Malinche
Paso de amor y de penas
Busco en los días buenos
Con la marina bailar chilena
Yo te quiero a ti, morena
Niña marina del corazón
Mira que baila toro e'petate
Mira que busca un toro rabón
