Por unas pupilas claras
Que entre muchos sables
Viera relucir
Y esa risa que escondía
No sé qué secretos
Y si era para mí
Cuando altivo se marchó
Entre gritos de alguacil
Me nublo un presentimiento
Al verlo partir
Dicen que es Manuel su nombre
Y que se lo llevan
Camino a til-til
Que el gobernador no quiere
Ver por la cañada
Su porte gentil
Dicen que en la guerra fue
El mejor y en la ciudad
Lo llaman el guerrillero
De la libertad
Solo sé que ausente va
Que lo llevan los soldados
Que amarrado a la montura
La tropa lo aleja de su general
Solo sé que el viento va
Jugueteando en sus cabellos
Y que el Sol brilla en sus ojos
Cuando le conducen
Camino a til-til
Dicen que era como un rayo
Cuando galopaba
Sobre su corcel
Y que al paso del jinete
Todos murmuraban
Su nombre Manuel
Yo no sé si volveré
A verlo libre y gentil
Solo sé que sonreía
Camino a til-til
