Por la noche del sur va el centauro
Horizonte a galope tendido
Fundador del país de mi sangre
Y el origen caliente del grito
Yo lo siento pasar por mi sombra
Cuando piso en el viento leguero
Y si vuelve raíz de mi canto
Su memoria de greda y silencio
Cuando salgo a buscar horizonte
Para un sueño de patria y de trigo
Por la noche del sur, va el centauro
Galopando en el tiempo conmigo
Si esta sangre que llevo olvidara
Que la habita un centauro dormido
Caería la muerte en mi sombra
Y después crecería el olvido
Padre nuestro señor de la Luna
Andariego de tanta distancia
En lo azul de la luz amaneces
Por el cielo de la madrugada
