(Zamba)
Al atardecer
fuego de la luna que va creciendo
sobre la estrella encendida
la noche dormida despierta al volver
Y la soledad
acunando el canto del chalchalero
sobre los parches de cuero
de un bombo legüero comienza a golpear
El alma salteña
en cada baguala está
arrimándole la copla
que lleva el viento en el alba
sobre el rumor de las carpas
antiguas de Salta desde el carnaval
Cuando a la oración
amanece el sueño de los mineros
bulle la sangre del vino
que muele el molino de su corazón
Y al amanecer
debajo del poncho de las estrellas
un acullico formando la boca
de un chango salteño se ve
