Por el paraná
Jangadero va
Madera y canción
Hacia el confín
Del litoral
Largo palo obscuro buscando
El vientre del río
En las manos bronce y coraje
Como un desafío
Y en los ojos una esperanza
Como el canto mío
La marea prende en los juncos
Un grito de espuma
Cuando el río brama violento
Como un viejo puma
Y es el jangadero una sombra
Perdido en la bruma
En los troncos gime boyando
Una vieja pena
Que en el jangadero se enrosca
Como una culebra
Y florecen manos que ruegan
Allá en las arenas
