Juancito va
Corriendo por el potrero viejo de alfalfa
Y una mariposa blanca lo lleva
Lo lleva en su vuelo blanco hasta el cementerio
Donde la tierra durmió con el sueño largo a oscuros abuelos
Juancito va
Jugando al equilibrista por los tapiales
Y un lerdo horizonte de cruces quietas
Vigila su vuelo niño de travesuras
Mientras la siesta desploma
Su voz caliente de hondas lejuras
Y solito, juancito aprende en la siesta
A mirar de lejos, y a ver de cerca
Juancito va
Leyendo con su dedito, bien de cerquita
Los dos nombres gringos que lo entreveran
Borrosos de tiempo y soles de altos veranos
Y le recuerdan galopes de indiada brava y viejos arados
Juancito va
Tratando ese caminito de la laguna
La tarde flamea como un pañuelo
Y un vuelo de gallaretas lo va llevando
Mirando el cielo, más rubio que el trigo rubio que va pisando
