Quisiera Tener Cien Pesos
(cueca campesina)
(comaire) quisiera tener cien pesos
(comaire) pa buscarme un amorcito
(comaire) porque de balde no hay caso
(comaire) que me quieran un poquito.
Quien tuviera señores,
Unos trescientos,
Apuesto que me hablaran
De casamiento.
De casamiento, sí,
Por unos miles,
Amores a la chuña,
¡que viva chile!
Yo no tengo ni cobre
Porque soy pobre.
I Wish I Had a Hundred Pesos
(peasant cueca)
(singer) I wish I had a hundred pesos
(singer) to find myself a little love
(singer) because for free it's no use
(singer) for them to love me a little.
If someone had, gentlemen,
About three hundred,
I bet they would talk to me
About marriage.
About marriage, yes,
For a few thousand,
Loves for free,
Long live Chile!
I don't even have a penny
Because I'm poor.
