Yo vengo del Colliguay
pa' ver la doña María
y pa' traerle un chanchito
y la chancha 'e mi tía.
Pero por venir cansá'
con el chanchito y el burro
a la pasa 'e Limache
vendí el chancho, maté el burro.
Que no se despierte
su lindo niñito
y me encuentre sola
sin ni un engañito
porque en el camino
vendí lo que treíba:
el chancho, el burro
y hasta el varraquito.
No se enoje, Mariquita,
si llego tarde al portal,
el burro 'e mi taitita
andaba sólo pa'trás.
Perdón le pido a su niño,
y a usted también, don José;
la intención del pobre vale
aunque le salga al revés.
