Ahora que estás ausente
mi canto en la noche te lleva
Tu pelo tiene el aroma
de la lluvia sobre la tierra
Mojada de luz
En mi guitarra nochera
Ciñendo voy tu cintura
Encendida por las estrellas.
Zamba de mi esperanza
Amanecida como un querer
Sueño, sueño del alma
Que a veces muere sin florecer
Estrella, tu que miraste
Tu que escuchaste mi parecer
Estrella, deja que cante
Deja que quiera como yo se
En una noche serena
Al cielo azul miré, miré
Contemplando a las estrellas
A la más bella le pregunté
Si era ella la que alumbraba
Tu amor, mi amor
Para pedirle por ella
Al Dios piadoso resignación
Con la pollera yuta
las trenzas largas
te vi pasar
Y ahí nomás a mi zaino
en el guardapatio
lo hice rayar
Como olvidarte Cerrillos
Si por tu culpa tengo mujer
Morena cerrillana con alma y vida te cantaré
Todos los carnavales para Cerrillos te llevaré
Carpas de Salta
Las vuelvo a recordar
bandoneón y guitarra
Zambas para bailar
Carpas de La Silleta
Campo Quijano y La Merced
Toda Salta de fiesta
Quién pudiera volver
