Porqué me vine de Chile
tan bien que yo estaba allá
Ahora ando en tierras extrañas
Ay, cantando, pero apena'o
Tengo en mi pecho una espina
que me clava sin cesar
Es mi corazón que sufre
Ay, por su tierra Chilena.
Quiero bailar cueca,
quiero tomar chicha,
quiero ir al mercado
& comprarme un Pequén.
Ir a Matucana,
pasear por la Quinta
& al Santa Lucía
contigo mi bien.
Antes de salir de Chile
yo no supe comprender
lo que vale ser chileno
Ay, ahora sí que lo sé.
Igual que lloran mis ojos
al cantar esta canción
así llora en mi guitarra
Ay, penosamente el bongoe.
Quiero bailar cueca,
quiero tomar chicha,
quiero ir al mercado
& comprarme un Pequén.
Ir a Matucana,
pasear por la Quinta
& al Santa Lucía
contigo mi bien.
Qué lejos está mi Chile
lejos mi media mitad
qué lejos mis ocho hermanos
Ay, mi comadre y mi mamá.
Parece que hiciera un siglo
que de Chile no sé ná'
por eso escribo esta carta
Ay, la mando de aquí pa' allá.
Quiero bailar cueca,
quiero tomar chicha,
quiero ir al mercado
& comprarme un Pequén.
Ir a Matucana,
pasear por la Quinta
& al Santa Lucía
contigo mi bien.
