A veces canta en milongas
y la milonga lo sabe,
le nacen mares por dentro
que se mezclan con su sangre
y el sur como un sentimiento
que la milonga se sabe
Cuando canta con el alma,
si hay otro modo quién sabe,
le crecen viento a las cuerdas
y la guitarra en el aire
dibuja sus alas nuevas
y la milonga lo sabe
Cuando se esconde una pena
que la milonga no falte
como dulce compañera
en re menor por las tardes,
abraza fuerte cobija
pa' que el olvido se espante
Qué Zitarrosa el dolor
que nunca avisa y se trae
se suele cantar mejor
y pa' que el recuerdo amarre
la milonga hace lo suyo
y la muerte se distrae
Mi patria andaba de viaje
por otras tierras distante
sin un norte por bandera
ni corazón de estandarte...
Llegó hasta aquí por milongas,
dice que quiere quedarse
A veces canto en milongas...
por si la vida no alcance
