(Zamba)
Si por la Jujuy y la Plata,
de noche empiezo a silbar,
esquina de mi Santiago:
la zamba más zamba
me vendrá a buscar.
Se llamaba Esquina al campo,
cuando el campo halle cantor
y un sentir bien santiagueño
en manos rugosas,
velay, floreció.
Esquina al campo, como mistoles
tienen las coplas armadas allí:
maduraban en verano,
con un ciego al arpa
y otro al violín.
Refugio de musiqueros,
sonora esquina que fue,
tan sólo de recordarte,
mi canto despierta;
la calle también.
Viejos churos de mi pago,
de estilo humilde y gentil.
Sus arpas bordaron notas,
que guardan las noches
zamberas de aquí.
