Cuando llueve me dan no sé qué
Las estatuas
Nunca pueden salir en pareja
Con paraguas
Y se quedan como en penitencia
Solitarias
Señalando la fatalidad
En las plazas
Miran serias pasar cochecitos
Y mucamas
No se ríen porque no tuvieron
Nunca infancia
Marionetas
Grandes, quietas
Con ellas no juega nadie
Pero si una sombra maga
Para siempre las borrase
Qué dolor caería
Sobre Buenos Aires
Cuando llueve y me voy a dormir
Las estatuas
Velan pálidas hasta que llegue
La mañana
Y del sueño de los pajaritos
Son guardianas
Su memoria procuran decir
Sin palabras
Y nos piden la poca limosna
De mirarlas
Cuando quieren contarnos un cuento
De la Patria
Marionetas
Grandes, quietas
Con ellas no juega nadie
Pero si una sombra maga
Para siempre las borrase
Qué dolor caería
Sobre Buenos Aires
