Si yo digo verde
A que usted no piensa
En el camalote
Y si digo agua
Usted no imagina el parana
Diciembre lo arranca
Desata su nudo con la madreselva
Y con el viene el agua
El viento del norte y la yarara
Y a su incertidumbre
Lento lagarto, raices negras
Se le pega el hambre
El aire pesado y la inundacion
Que no se detenga
Tu marcha lenta rumbo p'al mar
Es tan semejante
A nuestro delirio, a la soledad
Que te empuje el viento
Mi pensamiento o el temporal
Fuera de la orilla
Tu camarilla, camalotal
El rio que te acuna
Mete su lengua en el caserio
Bajo tu llanura
Juega el dorado, escondiendose
Silencioso ejercito
Panza de agua, patas de barro
Mamotretos de hojas
Verdes las aguas del invasor.
