Cuando por Tucumán

Se asienta el cuerpo de agosto

Y el sol por los tablones

Su resplandor

Se anochece en las quemazones...

Dentro 'el cañaveral

Déle silbar el machete

Su luz desmoronada,

Y el pelador

Se desangra como la caña...

Y más atrás

El ingenio muele

Sangre de los trapiches

Para el alcohol

Desvelado de los boliches...

Por una nube gris

Las chimeneas florecen,

El sol se esta apagando

Para el rubor

Incendiado de los lapachos...

Y hacia la tarde ya

Los peladores regresan

Tristes, desmemoriados

Y el callejón,

Pura sombra los va borrando...

Y más atrás

El ingenio muele

Sangre de los trapiches

Para el alcohol

Desvelado de los boliches...
