Mate amargo que naciste
En la rueda de un fogón
Derramando tradición
Entre un estilo y un triste
Mate amargo que trajiste
Entre tu yerba sabrosa
La suavidad primorosa
De una mano de mujer
Y el embrujo de un querer
Con que te cebó una moza
Sos el amigo sincero
Con quien a solas proseando
Pasás las horas rodando
En un galope ligero
Sos sereno consejero
Que escuchamos con halago
Y entre un trago y otro trago
Mientras la pava se queja
Nos hablás de cosas viejas
De la querencia y el pago
El más bravo se arrocina
Al paladear tu amargura
Sos sabroso como achura
Y querendón como China
Sos alma de la cocina
Que alegra reunión sencilla
Y mientras la llama brilla
Vos vas con tierno embeleso
Como si fueras un beso
Aleteando en la bombilla
Y cuando ya galopeao
Como pájaro sin pluma
El água no forma espuma
Y estás del todo lavao
Tenés siempre algún costao
Pa’ que el hombre te aproveche
Te da vuelta, y sin que te eche
Yerba, quedás de primera
Sos como vaca mañera
Que sabe esconder la leche
