Mortales ingredientes
armaron al mayor
luz de terratenientes
y de revolución
destreza de la esgrima
sucesos como un preso
Amalia abandonada
por la bala, la vergüenza,
el amor.
O un fusilamiento
un viejo cuento
modelaron su adiós.

CORO

va cabalgando
sobre una palma escrita
y a la distancia
de cien años resucita

VERSO

Trota sobre la espuma
seguido por un mar
de negros en machete
y sin encadenar
ordena a su corneta
un toque de a degüello
y a un siglo de distancia
entona nuestra canción
y con recia garganta
canta, espanta lejos
A  maldición.
