(Canción)
Versión de Héctor Numa Moraes:
Largo sol de la escollera
se quedó quieto aquel día,
cuando murió Pepe Matta,
alias el Pepe Corvina.
Redes y cuerdas y cielo
por la cara le corrían,
redes prensando los años
y secándole la vida.
Pepe camino del mar,
mar adentro se venía,
con el pantalón de trapo
y la camisa raída.
A veces quieto en el muelle,
su farolito prendido,
Pepe pescaba, pescaba,
mientras Pepe se moría.
Pepe a la sombra del sur,
cantaba Pepe Corvina,
cantaba con su garganta,
garganta ronca de vino.
El aparejo cantor,
las chalanas pensativas,
el mar solo, solo,
el mar sin Pepe Corvina.
Versión de Alfredo Zitarrosa:
Largo sol de la escollera
enfermo se oscurecía,
cuando murió Pepe Matta,
alias el Pepe Corvina.
Navegaba pescador,
el timón a la deriva,
la nave nunca volvió,
la nave no volvería.
Pepe camino del mar,
mar adentro se venía,
con el pantalón de trapo
y la camisa raída.
En las aguas de coral
sueña la fragata hundida,
la locura lo siguió,
la locura lo seguía.
Una sombra lo buscó
bajo la luna amarilla,
y se perdió más allá,
de la noche sumergida.
Adiós Pepe pescador,
ballenero fugitivo,
tatuado en la soledad,
anclado en el Paraíso.
El aparejo cantor,
las chalanas pensativas,
el mar solo, solo,
el mar sin Pepe Corvina..
