(Milonga)
Que yo les cuente mis penas
me piden de tarde en tarde.
Si en ellas está mi fuerza
déjenme que me las calle.
Voy anclando por el mundo
Camino de cualquier parte.
Llena de piedras la senda,
lleno de sueños el aire.
La vida es un lazo largo
estira'o sobre la tierra.
En una punta una dicha,
y en la otra punta una pena
Así va mi corazón
lleno de sueños y ausencias,
sin encontrar su querencia
perdido en la cerrazón.
No se ve la Cruz del Sur
en las noches de tormenta.
Hay que mirar dentro de uno
para encontrarla a la huella.
Cuando me cansa el camino
me pongo a mirar p'adentro
como quien arrima leñas
al fogón de unos recuerdos.
