La luna alumbra el puerto desde un tapial
Amamantando el sueño del jornalero
Al cabo del tiempo amores de contrabando
Sube la luna como jugando
Ardiendo en luz al cañaveral
Y se prende en el vuelo de tu pollera
Como una pincelada en la oscuridad
Para volverse nácar en tu cadera
Te pinta el alma y en vos se queda
Por un momento de eternidad
Acariciando el lomo del río viejo
Que duerme con sus ojos abiertos
Para beberse tu claridad.
Luna llena, cara de barro, luna de cabotaje
No hay astronautas ni dioses
Que te prohiban enamorarte
Luna llena, cara de barro, luna de cabotaje,
Todos los grillos nos hacen el coro
Y yo canto pa' despedirte hasta el otro mes
Amacándose en el río,
Tu canoa se va y se fue.
Luna de medianoche sobre los barcos
En tu mirada luna que gira y va
Desparramando perlas entre los charcos
Que el río olvida, tan apurado,
Por no mirar un poquito atrás,
Y uno, que se parece al agua que corre
Mira la noche y enhebra nombres
Por no pensar en la soledad.
