(Cueca)
Niña te he conocido
justo cuando partía,
¿por qué es que yo debía
sentir amor todavía?
Si tú lo sabes dime,
dime por qué sería;*
para tus manos frías
hallé calor en las mías.
Cómo es la vida, niña querida,
si tú lo sabes di:
cómo un amor tan dulce sentí
en cuanto te vi.
Cuando te miro fijo
pienso que has de esperarme,
mirándote mirarme
ganas me dan de quedarme.
Dices que has de escribirme,**
cuando yo me haya ido;
yo solamente pido
que no me echés al olvido.
Y si esperando
y si volando
perdiera tu querer,
no me lo escribas nunca,
mejor dímelo al volver.
* Alfredo Zitarrosa, en una primera versión inédita, dice "dime por qué ese día".
** En la misma versión inédita, dice "Dices que has de escrebirme"".
