Padre tropero,
vuelvo buscando
la huella de tu huella
bajo los soles del año,
detrás de qué galope
tu sombra se fue apagando...
La misma tierra
que canto y ando
te vio fundar caminos
hacia los vientos de Arauco,
tropero de mi sangre,
padre de greda y quebracho.
Ya volviste a la tierra
desde donde venías,
galopando el silencio,
a templarme la voz.
Y hoy regresas conmigo,
vuelves cantando...
Tantos caminos,
tropero padre,
encendieron mis ojos
de lejanía y distancia,
hechura de tus sueños,
apenas soy pueblo que anda...
Rumbo en tu nombre,
Lucas Tejada,
tu tropa abrió el camino
pa' que pasara la patria,
galope en las leyendas
te contarán las guitarras.
