(Porque en mis años de chango
Sin saber de amor, te amaba)
Porque llegaste a mi vida
Trayéndome la esperanza
Porque juntos empezamos
A subir la cuesta brava
Juntos en las horas buenas
Juntos en las horas malas
Por eso es que en esta noche
Te digo: ¡gracias guitarra!
(Por la lección que me diste
Que en vez de llorar, cantara)
Por el amor a la tierra
Por la canción que adornabas
Tal vez porque en mi fogón
Hay más cenizas que brasas
Y como pa hablar contigo
No se precisan palabras
Por eso es que en esta noche
Te digo: ¡gracias guitarra!
(Si una vez me sentí gaucho
Y arrollé al brazo mi manta)
Si otra vez, en la derrota
Me persiguió la desgracia
Si caminando en la vida
Me hirió, punzante, la zarza
Si en un rincón de ternuras
El amor curó mis llagas
Por eso es que en esta noche
Te digo: ¡gracias guitarra!
