Viejo canto de mis pagos
Viejo como el salitral
Alabanza chacarera
Te quiero cantar
Amuykayman dice el bombo
Cuando suena allá en maylín
Por ahí anda don gallito
Tocando el violín
En loreto bailo zamba
El escondido en beltrán
Pa' bailar un buen remedio
Hay suncho corral
Ñoqa salavinamanta
De ande llaman el troncal
Alabanza, chacarera
Te quiero cantar
Ashpaj sumaj la alabanza
Cantada en el quebrachal
Mesmo como si llamaran
Vengan a rezar
Zapatea por lo parejo
No lo enojes al tierral
Poquito, cepíllamelo
La chacarera
Ya va saliendo la luna
Brillando en el salitral
Engualichando guitarras
Con su claridad
