Cuando lentamente viene la corriente
Y asalta las islas
Aguas sublevadas de las marejadas
Cubren la región
En la correntada turbia y encrespada
Van a la deriva
Entre la resaca, árboles que arranca
De cuajo el torrente, minuciosamente
Se imponen las aguas de la inundación
El islero siente resignadamente
Que su pobre vida
Queda acorralada como su ranchada
Sobre un albardón
Su suerte está echada en esta anegada
Soledad perdida
En donde la lluvia de invierno diluvia
Y la sudestada mantiene empacada
La furia inocente de la inundación
Juanito laguna, mirando la luna
Que se hizo con agua
Y las crestonadas que al norte en bandadas
Emigrando van
En su barro tierno de dolor eterno
Medroso presiente
Que en aquel invierno vendrá la creciente
Dejando sin rancho, desnuda la gente
Sembrando en las islas la devastación
