(Ahora si pu' santito que
nos vamos con la primera)
El chincol y la chincola
se agarraron de la cola.
El chincol, el chincol
torcazas, zorzales,
los pájaros chicos,
los pájaros grandes.
Mi vida chincolito se voló,
tuyo, tuyo soy.
Mi vida para adentro de un convento
vida de mi amor.
Mi vida salió una monja asusta'
tuyo, tuyo soy.
Mi vida con el chincolito adentro
vida de mi amor.
Mi vida chincolito se voló
tuyo, tuyo soy.
Chincolito es muy diablo cuando enamora,
tuyo, tuyo soy.
Agacha la cabeza, para la cola,
vida de mi amor.
Chincolito es muy diablo cuando enamora,
tuyo, tuyo soy.
Para la cola sí, el chincolito,
tuyo, tuyo soy.
Se hace que esta llorando aquel diablito,
vida de mi amor.
Chincolito aniñao,
ya estoy cansao,
tuyo, tuyo soy.
