(Bailecito)
Yo vengo del lao de Oruro,
del pago de la Diablada,
adonde uno se enamora
de las mujeres casadas.
Con una bolsita 'e maiz,
que le llaman sara tata
y umas patas de vicuña,
para tejer una manta.
No te olvidés,
si vas pa' l Norte,
llegate hasta Tucumán
y así comemos un mote.
En Salta metá coquear,
pitando cigarro y chala
y cuando voy a Jujuy,
armamos la cacharpaya.
Es destino de los pobres
buscar consuelo en las farras
y se les acaban las penas,
cuando sienten la guitarra.
No te olvidés,
si vas p'al Norte,
llegate hasta Tucumán
y así comemos un mote.
