(media caña)
El norte. las grandes moles de los ingenios azucareros. los cañaverales. de estrella a estrella, siempre postergados, los cañeros, trabajando. y sus hijos, no en la escuela, en el surco, ayudando.
Ceniza, sudor. los camiones llevándose la caña. y en las aripucas de paja y rama se queda el cañero con su miseria.
El norte, la caña, el hombre. todos juntos, ardiendo. y el grito del cañaveral, con cortadera y con faca, creciendo, marchando.
Cañero del norte,
Cortadera en mano,
La faca afilada,
Ceniza y sudor.
La caña es amarga,
Amarga pa' vos,
Que al dueño lo endulza
Con plata y alcohol.
Apanela pindurada
Con grasa, carne y fideo,
Tomando algún trago 'e caña
Junto al fogón, los cañeros.
Una caña que te anima
Y otra que te da dolor,
Los bonos sirven pa' poco
En la cantina 'el patrón.
Cañero del norte,
Cortadera en mano,
La faca afilada,
Ceniza y sudor.
Niño sin escuela
Ayudando al padre,
Qu'en la azucarera
Se aprende a sudar.
Te está esperando el lucero,
Peludo, 'el cañaveral,
Con una luna de azúcar
Pa' un día con gusto a sal.
Al hombre que pita rubio
Un día ha de llegar
Con cortadera y con faca
La voz del cañaveral.
