En un tobiano pasuco
con caronita pelada,
ahí va el peoncito de estancia
cruzando por la picada.
Gauchito varón, maduro el rigor,
sin saber por qué,
tierno corazón,
falto de calor le tocó crecer.
Cumple su deber, chingolito fiel.
de aquí para allá,
cogollo de amor;
cielo de ilusión, anda, viene y va.
Recién florece su vida:
dura y áspera será;
anda jugando al trabajo
y rinde como el que más.
Los pajaritos del monte
le saludan al pasar
y el peoncito va soñando:
soñando con su silbar.
Pero se endulza el camino
con la frutita del tala
y algún chañar florecido
le va perfumando el alma.
Jugo 'el macachín, miel de camachuí,
fruto 'el ubajay, pisingallo, tas
baquiano demás,
sabe bien dónde hay.
Agreste vivir, si tiene un sufrir:
no se escapa un ay, con que despertó.
La tierra lo crió
como el ñandubay.
Cachorro de viaje largo:
¡qué duro es tu trajinar!
Destino sin una queja
de silencio y soledad.
Los pajaritos del monte
le saludan al pasar
y el peoncito va soñando:
soñando con su silbar.
