Por el guaymallen, el duende del agua va
Llevando una flor de greda y de sol
Que despertara en el riego
La voz vegetal del huarpe que esta
Dormido en su paz mineral
Se va tu caudal, por el valle labrador
Y al amanecer sale a padecer
La pena del surco ajeno
Verano y rigor, va de sol a sol
La sombra del vendimiador
Morada zamba del riego, el agua te cantara
Cuando ande en la voz del vino cantor
La vendimia de mi pueblo
Y suba un rumor de acequia y cancion
Por el rumbo agrario del sol
Canal fundador, tonada del totoral
La luna rural, te ha visto regar
El sueño de mis abuelos
Y luego entonar con el regador
El vino sufrido del peon
Solar regador, algun dia bajaras
Trayendo en tu voz, de menta y cedron
Tonadas del vino nuevo
Y entonces te iras conmigo a cantar
Cogollos de amor y de paz.
