Matadero

El flaco entra como siempre
Al matadero a las diez,
Y todo el día corta carne,
Hueso y media res
Y mientras descansa se pone a pensar
Este trabajo no es para mi
Como fue que llegé aqui
Una familia numerosa no te deja elegir,
Y el matadero es una excusa para sobrevivir
Comer es algo, que no puede esperar;
Carga la carne sobre el camión,
Y siente la vista del patrón
Es la verdad que a dos patrones
No se puede servir,no
Si no es con dios es con el diablo
Que tenés que vivir
Uno te quita, y el otro te da;
El diablo paga del uno al diez,
Y que dios te ayude a fin de mes
Mañana el flaco toma un micro
Que lo lleva hacia el mar
Ya nunca más matadero,
Nunca más a faenar,
No más esclavo, libre al fin;
(Pero esa noche, sueña otra vez
Que carga al hombro media res).
