Yo soy la china del alto
Bien patriota y bien porteña
Lo dice mi escarapela
Con rebozo nuevo y aros
Fui paseando por la plaza
Para saber lo que pasa
Me volvía para el alto
Cuando fui a una linda fiesta
Con gente de tiros largos
Y señoras muy compuestas
Déjenme que yo les cuente
Lo que vi en aquella casa
De al lado de la ventana
En casa de mariquita
Un canto nuevo dijeron
Y yo lo estoy repitiendo
Yo que soy china del alto
Y que no entiendo de nada
Desde afuera lo entonaba
Dice de un grito sagrado
De laureles y de gloria
De igualdad y libertades
De batallas y victorias
Este canto que es mi patria
Y era el que tanto esperaba
Se me ha prendido en el alma
