Sentado solo en un banco en la ciudad
con tu mirada recordando el litoral
tu suerte quiso estar partida
mitad verdad, mitad mentira
como esperanza de los pobres prometida
Andando solo bajo la llovizna gris
fingiendo duro que tu vida fue de aquí
porque cambiaste un mar de gente
por donde gobierna la flor
mirá que el río nunca regaló el color
Carito, suelta tu pena
se haga diamante tu lágrima
entre mis cuerdas
Carito, suelta tu piedra
para volar como el zorzal
en primavera
En Buenos Aires los zapatos son modernos
pero no lucen como en la plaza de un pueblo
dejá que tu luz chiquitita
hable en secreto a la canción
para que te ilumine un poco más el sol
Cualquier semilla, cuando es planta, quiere ver
la misma estrella de aquel atardecer
que la salvó del pico agudo
refugiándola al oscuro
de la gaviota arrasadora de los surcos
Carito, yo soy tu amigo
me ofrezco árbol
para tu nido
Carito, suelta tu canto
que el abanico en mi acordeón
lo está esperando.
