(zamba)
La llaman la pobrecita,
Porque esta zamba nació en los ranchos.
Con una guitarra, mal encordada,
La cantan siempre los tucumanos.
Allá, en los cañaverales,
Cuando la noche viene llegando,
Por entre los surcos se ven de lejos,
Los tucu-tucu de los cigarros.
Solcito del camino.
Lunita de mis valles;
En la pobrecita zamba del surco,
Cantan sus penas los tucumanos.
Mi zamba no tiene dichas:
Sólo pesares tiene el paisano;
Con las hilachitas de una esperanza
Forman sus sueños los tucumanos.
Conozco la triste pena
De las ausencias y del mal pago.
En mi noche larga, prenden sus fuegos
Los tucu-tucu del desengaño.
