Cuando se muere un cristiano
La muerte sin avisar
Viene en un caballo negro
Le toca el hombro y se va.
Cuando se muere un poeta
Solloza el cañaveral,
Quedan sin luz los lapachos
Y sin agua el manantial.
Cuando se muere un amigo
Uno le quiere cantar
Y sale a buscar palabras
Que jamas encontrara.
Las palabras que yo busco
No creo que vuelvan mas
Se me han ido a bellavista
Y alla se han puesto a llorar.
Que pena tiene mi olvido
Que ya no puede olvidar
Y una copla estremecida
Por los surcos se me van
Con el recuerdo de lucho
Al cielo de tucuman.
