Bandido

La noche me abre su manto,
Su manto de estrellas blancas:
Compadre: voy a la sierra
Llevando mi muerte en ancas.
Es negro el viento y la tierra,
Negro el pan y negro el vino;
Si voy subiendo a la sierra
Más negro se hará el camino.
Un corvo de acero blanco
Me cuelga al flanco,
El rifle alerta,
Cansado el tranco, llevando penas
Y donde vaya con la cadena
De este destino sobre mi manco
Se irá el dolor.
Compadre: la noche enreda
Mi poncho negro en sus brechas
Pero en todos los atajos
Un rifle escondido acecha.
Al pueblo vaya de albita
Cuando aún no muera la sombra
Y donde escuche que hay una
Mujer que a solas me nombra.
Le dice que no me busque,
Que se acostumbre,
Que ya no existo,
Que allá en la sierra
Cuando en la noche
De espalda en tierra
Me acuerde de ella
Con toda el alma,
Con toda el alma
La lloraré.
