Cuando fui para la pampa
Llevaba mi corazón contento
Como un chirigüe,
Pero allá se me murió,
Primero perdí las plumas
Y luego perdí la voz,
Y arriba quemando el sol.
Cuando vide los mineros
Dentro de su habitación
Me dije: mejor habita
En su concha el caracol,
O a la sombra de las leyes
El refinado ladrón,
Y arriba quemando el sol.
Las hileras de casuchas,
Frente a frente, si, señor,
Las hileras de mujeres
Frente al único pilón,
Cada una con su balde
Y su cara de aflicción,
Y arriba quemando el sol.
Fuimos a la pulpería
Para comprar la ración,
Veinte artículos no cuentan
La rebaja de rigor,
Con la canasta vacía
Volvimos a la pensión,
Y arriba quemando el sol.
Zona seca de la pampa
Escrito en un cartelón,
Sin embargo, van y vienen
Las botellas de licor,
Claro que no son del pobre,
Contrabando o qué sé yo,
Y arriba quemando el sol.
Paso por un pueblo muerto
Se me nubla el corazón,
Aunque donde habita gente
La muerte es mucho peor,
Enterraron la justicia,
Enterraron la razón,
Y arriba quemando el sol.
Si alguien dice que yo sueño
Cuentos de ponderación,
Digo que esto pasa en Chuqui
Pero en Santa Juana es peor,
El minero ya no sabe
Lo que vale su sudor,
Y arriba quemando el sol.
Me volví para Santiago
Sin comprender el color
Con que pintan la noticia
Cuando el pobre dice no,
Abajo, la noche oscura,
Oro, salitre y carbón,
Y arriba quemando el sol
