Si vas para Chile Te ruego que pases Por donde vive mi amada Es una casita Muy linda y chiquita Que está en la falda De un cerro enclavada La adornan las parras La cruza un estero Y al frente hay un sauce Que llora y que llora Porque yo la quiero Si vas para Chile Te ruego, viajero Le digas a ella Que de amor me muero El pueblito se llama Las Condes Y está junto a los cerros y al cielo Y si miras de lo alto hacia el valle Lo verás que lo baña un estero Campesinos y gentes del pueblo Te saldrán al encuentro, viajero Y verás cómo quieren en Chile Al amigo cuando es forastero
