Para Cándido Portinari
la miel y el ron,
y una guitarra de azúcar
y una canción,
y un corazón.
Para Cándido Portinari
Buenos Aires y un bandoneón.
Ay, esta noche se puede, se puede,
ay, esta noche se puede, se puede,
se puede cantar un son.
Sueña y fulgura.
Un hombre de mano dura,
hecho de sangre y pintura,
grita en la tela.
Sueña y fulgura,
su sangre de mano dura,
sueña y fulgura,
como tallado en candela;
sueña y fulgura,
como una estrella en la altura,
sueña y fulgura,
como una chispa que vuela...
sueña y fulgura.
Así con su mano dura,
hecho de sangre y pintura,
sobre la tela,
sueña y fulgura,
un hombre de mano dura.
Portinari lo desvela
y el roto pecho le cura.
Ay, esta noche se puede, se puede,
ay, esta noche se puede, se puede,
se puede cantar un son!
Para Cándido Portinari
la miel y el ron,
y una guitarra de azúcar
y una canción,
y un corazón.
Para Cándido Portinari
Buenos Aires y un bandoneón.
