Manuel Ascencio Padilla,
Padilla Ascencio Manuel
no habrá ninguno como él
su valor ¡qué maravilla!
Empujao' por la guerrilla
salió dispuesto a vencer
pero le ha de acontecer
que en una mala acechanza
no perdiendo la esperanza
la vida la ha de perder.
Juana se hubo de llamar
la mujer de aquel valiente
caramba, que limpiamente
llegó dispuesta a luchar.
Una fiera al atacar
sin dar ni pedir clemencia'
Señor mío, qué conciencia,
qué claridad, qué razones
conquistando corazones
luchó por la independencia.
Empujados a luchar
se entregan al pensamiento
de que al fin un alzamiento
habrá de tener lugar.
Ya dispuestos a tomar
el corbo y la carabina
las pampas de la Argentina
del godo van a librar.
En qué habrá de terminar
la muerte ya lo adivina.
Uno puede asegurar
que no es de hombre el ir llorando
¿a qué seguirse aguantando
las ganas de protestar?
ahura para rematar,
ahura mando, ahura sentencio:
no han de quedar en silencio
los que han sabido luchar
yo prometo continuar
por Juana y Manuel Ascencio.
