(Canción)
Mariposa negra que voló, que voló,
deja un grano de oro con amor y sin amor.
Mariposa negra, con el sol, con el sol,
busca hacerse sombra con amor y sin amor.
Mariposa negra, en cuál abismo, en qué dolor,
se abrieron tus alas sin color, suave temblor.
Mariposa negra, no halla flor, no halla flor,
que perfume el tallo de su amor, su desamor.
Mariposa negra que murió, que murió,
posada en la piedra se quedó, ya se quedó.
Mariposa negra, en cuál abismo, en qué dolor,
se abrieron tus alas sin color, suave temblor.
Posada en la piedra se quedó, ya se quedó.
(La puntuación y la versificación son de Alfredo Zitarrosa)
