El Cardal

Don Emílio Solanêt campeou pelas tolderias
Uma tropilha selvagem pra formar sua monarquia
Nos vales da Patagônia no rigor de uma estação
Pastava livre uma eguada com a marca de coração
Era a famosa tropilha formosura de uma estampa
Do cacique Don Juan figura antiga da pampa
E assim nasceu a legenda da Argentina El Cardal
Que foi ganhando o brasão da seleção natural
(Com a égua Mata Cardal abana um pala por graça
Don Emílio bem montado na grande mãe de uma raça)
E pra mostrar a estirpe aos olhos de um campeiro
Reverencio a rudeza de um mancha Picaço Oveiro
E hoje no continente nos planteis da crioulada
Há sempre um sangue Cardal relinchando na invernada
