(Milonga canción)
María Serena, mi nena
cantas y se disipan mis penas.
María Serena, niña y cadena
cuando tú cantas crecen las plantas
y se levantan hacia el sol.
María Serena, maga y pintora
tirame un naipe color aurora:
quiero saber cuál es tu muñeco
más triste, más amado y secreto.
Tu tucán tiene ojos de juguete
pájaro seco vuela al garete
pero tú ya le has dado una vida
toda tuya sin hambre ni herida.
María Serena, dime cómo hacer
para vivir sin hambre y sin comer:
chingolita piquito de carey
tú ya lo sabes desde el nacer mujer.
María Serena vas en mi río
tu rumbo puede no ser el mío.
Tu barca desembarcará un día
quiero que al desembarcar sonrías.
Porque tú eres la especie que crece
manos, pies y temblor de amor que son
ojos y pensamiento y dolor
fe y alegría, mi amo y señor, tu amor,
¡mi amor!
(La puntuación, la versificación y la ortografía son de Alfredo Zitarrosa)
