Matungo Lyrics by Osiris Rodríguez Castillos

El Forastero

1966

Dí de rienda...
Y al galope fui a espantarle los caranchos
Él dejó caer la cabeza, desconsolao en los pastos...
Con mi overo del cabestro me puse a armar un cigarro
Pa' no dejarlo irse solo, cuando dentraba el verano...
Pobre matungo maceta
Te estás muriendo en el llano
Donde tan sólo el silencio
Suele arrimarse pastando...
Pálida nube destiñe
Torvas sombras de caranchos
Y suspiras un relincho
Como si fuera un llamado
Pero... es patrón Don Olvido
Y tiene muchos caballos
Viejos octubres te vieron
Piafar de pronto orejeando
Cuando un fugar de potrancas
Quemó tu ijar encelado
Eran entonces tus crines
Fieras banderas flameando;
Sólo el trueno era más trueno
Sólo el rayo era más rayo
Y erguida luz resbalaba
Por el temblor de tus flancos
Ai quedará tu osamenta
Con las costillas blanqueando...
Será tambor de aguaceros
Tu viejo cuero tubiano...
Asomarán por tus cuencas
Dos flores nuevas del campo
A curiosiar una historia
De huesos desparramados
Que ni verán los potrillos
Cuando pasen retozando
Nadie pondera tu pelo
Pero vos fuiste caballo
De manear con el pañuelo
De enlazar y fiarte el lazo;
Comedido en los apartes
Pechador de toros bravos
¡velay tu aliento, tu rienda
Tu lindo galope largo!
¡Velay! ¡Qué sino parejo
Tienen matungo y cristiano!
