Riachuelo en sombras bañao
parece pintao
por Quinquela Martín...
Tan sólo brilla en la ribera
la luz del viejo cafetín.
Allí, mezclao con dolor,
el mísero amor
también tiene su festín,
amor de pobre milonguera,
amor de taita malandrín.
Ribera criolla donde sin recato
se tira la chancleta un rato.
Allí las frases del amor barato
componen torpe madrigal.
Y entre las copas de cristal que choca
y el beso que al amor provoca,
las notas de una risa loca
en una boca extingue algún puñal.
Riachuelo en sombras bañao,
parece pintao
por Quinquela Martín.
El agua besa chiquetera
la quilla al viejo bergantín.
En vos encuentra el cantor
motivo y color
si es que sabe cantar
el bravo amor de la ribera,
amor que mata por matar.
