(Zamba)

(Recitado)

tirada al toldo ranquel

mi zamba es del tiempo aquel

en que era mía mi tierra.

Anduvo moviendo guerra,

es gaucha como el ñandú

y tiene hasta el caracú

recia fibra nacional..

Mi zamba es del pajonal

y va a cantarle al ombú.

(cantando)

Perdido en las lejanías

mangrullo gaucho de tierra y cruz,

solito en las pampas mías

se alzará siempre el ombú.

Tristeza que andando llega

con los azules de la oración

el alma de Santos Vega

flotando en la tradición.

El ombú de los llaneros

reparito de algún fogón

cantor de roncos pamperos

baluarte frente al malón.

A tu sombra se adoraron

dos almas criollas, la misma unción

y en tu corteza grabaron

dos letras y un corazón.

Recuerdo que así te nombra

con un golpe que ya pasó

Güiraldes, Segundo Sombra

y el ademán de un adiós.

* El ombú o bellasombra (Phytolacca dioica) es una planta arborescente nativa de las Pampas argentinas y uruguayas. Pese a su tronco grueso y su gran porte (alcanza una altura de 10 a 15 m, con una amplia copa y grandes raíces visibles) es discutido si es un arbol, un arbusto o una hierba, de madera esponjosa y blanda; contiene grandes cantidades de agua, lo que le permite sobrevivir en el entorno de escasas lluvias de la pampa seca. Crece rápidamente, y es inmune a buena parte de seca.
