Huelga deciros que yo os quiero más
En la profunda pulpa de antesueño
Cuando el glaciar se reconvierte al sol
Y se nos va la esperma en el empeño
Y se nos cuaja el ceño de cenizas
Ávidas de hendir el cavilar del leño
Huelga deciros, Libertad Osuna
Que os sueño arando en hierro y sabio azote
Volviendo a errar y a herrar sin miramientos
Sobre un caballo y sobre un brioso brote
Que es una forma de entender amar
Y otra jornada que vencéis al trote
Con ansia de echar
La tierra a mugir
La luz a rodar
Huelga dudar que Libertad amando
Me vuelva a herir la gana regresando
Qué hambre tener que Libertad Osuna
Os una en la memoria del ultraje
Os rememore y os despierte al vuelo
Os calce el corazón con los corajes
Os arremeta sin parar la estancia
Oscura en que bebéis
La injuria y su brebaje
Qué hombre volver para que Osuna libre
Libre su nombre y su veloz corpiño
Su vientre cuarzo y su agonía historia
Y sus cadenas, su reloj, su niño
Y os avecine, os una, y os ausculte
Con sus dos manos y sus tres cariños
Y su refulgir
Su oficio de herir
La luz por venir
Si nos va a arder la gana en toda luna
Y hemos de andarla juntos tierra a tierra
Que en las raíces Libertad nos una
