(milonga)
El chacarero es otra cosa, digo, no es hombre de caballo y horizonte abierto. es calla'o, volca'o pa' dentro, como la chacra. no lo tienta el camino, mira el surco. hondo, lo mira. de tanto andar entre los terrones camina como a los barquinazos.
Los quince 'e mayo en solís, cuando la procesión, los chacareros más viejos llevan sobre sus hombros a san isidro labrador. en esa tarde de campanas y ruegos, viven su día distinto.
Después vuelven al arado y a la chacra, a su vida de medianero, a entregar la mitad de la cosecha al dueño de la tierra.
Te dieron tierna semilla,
Se volvieron a besar,
Ayer, fue hace mucho tiempo,
Solos los viste llegar.
Al paso lento 'e los bueyes
La reja rompió el terrón,
Mano puesta en la mancera
Sembrando de sol a sol.
Tierra, tierra generosa,
Ya la lluvia llegará,
Dando vida a la semilla
Todito lo empapará.
Canta, canta, chacarero,
Larga melga del amor,
Que en la tierra canta el trigo
Y grita tu corazón.
San isidro labrador,
Santo de los chacareros,
El quince 'e mayo en solís
En hombros te llevaremos.
Chacarero en campo ajeno,
Todas tierras del patrón:
Ni siquiera las conoce
Y se lleva lo mejor.
