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...
