Milonga de cien reyertas
templada como el valor.
Grito de pampa desierta
diciendo su alerta
con voz de cantor.
Milonga de quita penas.
Nostalgia de población.
Canto qu'en noche serena
su rezo despena
detrás del fogón.
Diana de viejas victorias
en la punta del tropel,
con tu vanguardia de gloria
serás en la historia
canción y laurel.
Son de querencia querida
en las noches del cuartel.
Pena de china querida
que al fin afligida
dejó de ser fiel.
Resuenan con tus acentos,
milonga del batallón,
gritos de viejos sargentos
cargando en el viento
con el escuadrón.
Y vuelven en los sonidos
agudos del cornetín,
ecos de mil alaridos
que estaban perdidos
detrás del confín.
Gime el desierto rodando
sus rumores de huracán...
Vienen las lanzas cargando
y están aguaitando
la Cruz y el Puñal.
Gloria de aquel comandante
que jamás volvió al cantón.
Besan su barba cervuna
la luz de la luna
y el fuego del sol.
