La tempranera
Eras la tempranera
Niña primera, amanecida flor
Suave rosa galana
La más bonita tucumana
Frente de adolescente
Gentil milagro de tu trigueña piel
Negros ojos sinceros
Paloma tibia de Monteros
Al bailar esta zamba fue
Que rendido te amé
Eras la tempranera
De mis arrestos prisionera
Mía ya te sabía
Cuando por fin te coroné
Era la primavera
La pregonera del delicado amor
Lloro amargamente
Aquel romance adolescente
Dura tristeza oscura
Frágil amor que no supe retener
Oye, paloma mía
Esta tristísima elegía
