La Noche

(Canción IV de "El sueño americano")
(canta Voces Andinas*)
Ave, María Purísima:
la noche han dado y silencio.
El rondar del guardián
triza apenas la paz colonial.
Su paso se aleja
por húmedas callejas
y en la noche quieta
las voces del viento se anidan después.
Un negro carruaje
cruza el empedrado
y en la noche brilla la risa de alguna mujer.
Noche de Santiago
para los guerreros
que con altanero
desdén gobernaban en nombre del rey.
¿Y el pueblo? Y el pueblo callaba.
¿Por qué?
El rondar de un guardián
triza apenas la paz colonial.
Su paso se aleja
por húmedas callejas
y en la noche quieta
las voces del viento se anidan después.
Ave, María Purísima:
la noche han dado y silencio.
Cárceles de piedra
llenaban la patria
y con mil cadenas cargaban al pueblo sin paz.
Dueños de la tierra,
dueños de la vida,
los conquistadores colgaron al pecho
del criollo un crespón.
¿Y el pueblo? ¿Y el pueblo que ayer combatió?
Y el rondar del guardián
triza apenas la paz colonial.
Su paso se aleja
por húmedas callejas
y en la noche inquieta
los ojos de un hombre le miran perder.
Ave, María Purísima:
la aurora ya está naciendo.
*Voces Andinas: Jaime Garat, José Ortega, Rolando Jaque y Víctor Ibarra
