Ahi anda con su huahuita
Entre sus brazos tibios, dormida
Y ella la mira asustada
Como urpilita perdida.
Doncella, luz de los montes
Pureza criolla de antiguos lares
Sobre la arborea corona
La saludan los zorzales.
Llevando su buena andanza
A dios le ruega por sus dolores
Sin maldecir a aquel hombre
Que le mintio en los amores
En el cofre de sus brazos
Le esta temblando una nueva vida
Y ella la mira asustada como urpilita perdida.
Recuerda la fiesta criolla
Alla en los ranchos de monte adentro
Oyo alegres chacareras
Y vidalas con lamentos.
Tal vez fuera aquella zamba
Quiza el aroma de los tunales
Tal vez la luz de aquel cielo
Alunando en los sunchales.
Desde el camino del rio
Un viento macho quebro las puertas
Como para darse el gusto
De verlas por siempre abiertas.
