Voy caminando en la arena,
los pies se me hunden cansados,
y mis pupilas se queman
al resplandor de los campos.
El agua no se descuelga
pobrecitos mis paisanos
si parece que hasta el tiempo
se aprovecha del más blando.
Apenas tiene un cachito
de tierra para ir tirando
las ha sembraú a coraje
soñando con cuervos blanco.
No sabe que para el pobre
solo se han hecho los brazos
la esperanza es pa´ l que tiene
leguas y leguas de campo.
Las vacas están en la calle lamiendo raices de cardo
porque ya no dentra el diente por más que le anden porfiando
el cuero, el cuero se pega al hueso, el hambre las va doblando
hombre flaco y vaca flaca, banquete pa´ los chimango.
El sauce ya no da sombra
los arroyos se han secado
las sombra esta dentro el alma
el agua en llantos amargo
a gauco como te admiro
domador de tiempos malo
por vos mi patria es mi patria
por vos mi canto es mi canto
Si el tiempo tiene vergüenza
no ha de negarte una mano.
