Yo vengo de una tierra larga y ancha
que hay más allá del mar que no conoce.
Llanura abierta al cielo, tierra brava
que pueblan unos hombres que en la noche
se ponen a cantarle a las estrellas
al son de acompasados guitarrones.
Ensayo general para la muerte
en el ronco latido de unas voces
que sólo hayan descanso cuando entonan
canciones que aprendieron de otros hombres
en noches que pasaron junto al fuego
oyendo acompasados guitarrones.
Aprendí esas canciones en la noche,
mirar de niño abierto a las estrellas
y como aquellos hombres cantar quise
nuevas huellas abrir por viejas sendas
caminando sin fin con las canciones
que he podido espigar de mi cosecha.
Aquí vengo a cantar como ellos cantan,
soy hijo de la pampa, soy arriero
que el látigo cambió por la palabra
y en vez de vacas pastorea sueños.
Canciones que otros hombres me enseñaron
o que compuse yo, pensando en ellos.
Razón de ser encuentro en mis canciones
el único bagaje con que cuento.
