Yo soy la vieja madera
Le dijo el árbol al río
Y el tiempo ya no me toca
Porque respeta mi nido
Ni los vientos de la pampa
Se aventuran conmigo
Para enfrentar su bravura
Fueron lanzas mis espinos
Soporté largos inviernos
Inundaciones he visto
Vacaje buscando el alto
Desolación y baldíos
La luna besó mis ramas
Con su silencio bendito
Y lloré mis soledades
Con lágrimas de rocío
Bajo mi sombra durmieron
Arrieros y perseguidos
Paisanos que desangraban
Su suerte por los caminos
Fui árbol de hondas raíces
Prendidas al suelo mío
Y aunque la pampa es mi pampa
Ya no somos lo que fuimos
