El Mensu

Selva... noche...luna...
pena en el yerbal
el silencio vibra
en la soledad
y el latir del monte
quiebra la quietud
con el canto triste
del pobre mensú.
Yerba...verde...yerba...
en tu inmensidad
quisiera perderme
para descansar
y en tus hojas fresas
encontrar la miel
que mitigue el surco
del látigo cruel.
Neike...neike...
el grito del capanga va resonando,
neike...neike...
fantasmas de la noche que no acabo.
Noche mala
que camina hacia el alba de la esperanza
día bueno
que forjaran los hombres de corazón.
Río...viejo...río...
que bajando va,
quiero ir contigo
en busca de hermandad,
paz para mi tierra cada día mas
roja con la sangre
del pobre mensú.
Neike... neike...etc.
Yerba..verde...yerba...
