Pago donde nací,
I pay where I was born,
es la mejor querencia:

Y más me lo recuerda
And more it reminds me
mi larga ausencia,
my long absence,
ay, ay, ay, sí, sí.
oh, oh, oh, yes, yes.
Santiago que dejé,
Santiago that I left,
con mi rancho querido.

Cuna de los mistoles,
Cradle of the mistoles,
charqui y quesillo,
jerky and cheese,
ay, ay, ay, sí, sí.
oh, oh, oh, yes, yes.
Tu sombra de mistol he'i buscar

cuando ya cansao de tanto andar,
when I get tired of walking so much,
Vuelva de nuevo al pago,
Go back to payment,
a mi Santiago,
to my Santiago,
ay, ay, ay, sí, sí.
oh, oh, oh, yes, yes.
Forastero que va,
going stranger,
siempre quiere quedarse,
he always wants to stay
y del suelo querido
and from the ground dear
suele prendarse,

ay, ay, ay, sí, sí.
oh, oh, oh, yes, yes.
Si la muerte ha'i llegar,

no'i de morir contento

mientras no pite un chala
