Esta chacarera es trunca,
alma y vida de Santiago,
vieja como los coyuyos
que cantan allá en mi pago.
Sangre de salitre y canto
que corre por los senderos,
polvadera, vid y farra
febril del salavinero.
Yo la traigo de mi tierra
donde el monte besa el cielo,
hecha canto en mi guitarra
y la del Sonco en el recuerdo.
Todos la llaman "la vieja"
y algunos me la han copiado,
pero esta es la verdadera
que canta todo Santiago.
Achalay mi chacarera,
sonco y bulla de mi pecho
y rescoldo de las coplas
que cantaron mis abuelos.
Apenitas se la escucha
la sangre me cosquillea,
y hasta se salen del alma
las penas y mudancean.
Compañera de mis noches,
llamita de mis adentros
pa' alumbrar a mis paisanos
humildes pero contentos.
Todos la llaman "la vieja"
y algunos me la han copiado,
pero esta es la verdadera
que canta todo Santiago.
