Regreso a cantar tonadas
De sol a sol por la sangre,
Como cantaba la vida
En la raiz de mi padre.
Cogollo de vida nueva:
La vida es una tonada.
No quiero cantar olvidos
Ni recordar lo que amaba
Porque son como dos muertes
El olvido y la distancia,
De lejos me queda cerca
Volver cantando tonadas
Una ronda de torcazas
Le hace ronda a los sauzales
Y soy niño de nuevo,
Magia en la tarde,
Pajaro y canto,
Cueca en el polvaderal.
A mendoza enamorada
Mi canto regresara.
Voy de paisaje en el alba
Y me parezco al paisaje:
Por fuera, el verde del clima;
Por dentro, el sol de la sangre.
El paisaje va conmigo
Y es un hermoso habitante.
El viejo viento de otoño,
Compadre de los nogales,
Me trae, cuando regresa,
La dulce voz de mi madre.
De tanto cantar tonadas
Ya soy pariente del aire.
