Color de barro en los ojos
con voz oscura de viento,
soy el son de un bandoneón
de rezongón corazón con sueño.
Carmín sangriento del moño
que en las trenzas se prendió,
soy el fuego de un cigarro
que se tira sobre el barro
desde lo alto de ese carro
que cruzó como un borrón.
Llanto con que canto,
barro con que amarro
tantas cosas que se van
como el fin del valseeito
que llovía en la agonía
del organito...
Puerta ya desierta,
vida ya perdida
en la ojera del zaguán.
Mi dolor de grillo triste
busca un cerco que no existe
de arrayán...
Color de barro mi pelo,
color de noche mi pena,
y en las sombras de un rincón,
mi bandoneón,
corazón que suena.
Color de barro de tango
con sus cosas que hacen mal,
este canto que desgarro
tiene su dolor bizarro
que es al fin color de barro
que arranqué del arrabal.
