A veces no comprendo mi rodar por el mundo
Este medir la tierra y el camino, y el mar
Esto, que siendo simple, se ha tornado profundo
Voz que ordena a mi paso más allá, más allá
Hasta donde conozco soy un ser sin marinos
Gente sin pasos largos ni fronteras vencidas
Manos que aprisionaron un sueño campesino
De melgas y picanas y relinchos y bridas
Porqué admiro castaños y encinas y hondos mares
Y aquel idioma extraño, y el violín que agoniza
Si una bárbara lengua de pampa y trebolares
Me dio a beber guitarras, que se hicieron ceniza
De dónde llega entonces la aventura del viaje
Si nada ha estado lejos, quizá una cordillera
Y esta dulce mentira de mudar los paisajes
Que son siempre los mismos, inviernos, primaveras
A veces no comprendo porqué camino tanto
Si no he de hallar la sombra que el corazón ansía
Quizá un profundo acordé, profundo como un llanto
He de escuchar un día, he de escuchar un día
