Canción para Carito

Sentado solo
En un banco en la ciudad
Con tu mirada
Recordando el litoral.
Tu suerte quiso estar partida
Mitad verdad, mitad mentira
Como esperanza
De los pobres prometida.
Andando solo
Bajo la llovizna gris
Fingiendo duro
Que tu vida fue de aqui
Por que cambiaste un mar de gente
Por donde gobierna la flor
Mira que el rio
Nunca regalo el color.
Carito suelta tu pena
Se hara diamante tu lagrima
Entre mis cuerdas
Carito suelta tu piedra
Para volar como el zorzal en primavera.
En buenos aires
Los zapatos son modernos
Pero no lucen
Como en la plaza de un pueblo
Deja que tu luz chiquitita
Hable en secreto a la cancion
Para que te acaricie
Un poco mas el sol.
Cualquier semilla
Cuando es planta quiere ver
La misma estrella
De aquel atardecer
Que la salvo del pico agudo
Refugiandola al oscuro
De la gaviota arrasadora
De los surcos.
Carito yo soy tu amigo
Me ofrezco arbol para tu nido
Carito suelta tu canto
Que el abanico en mi acordeon
Lo esta esperando.
