Lucho gatica - Luna tucumana

Yo no le canto a la luna
porque alumbra y nada más,
le canto porque ella sabe
de mi largo caminar,
le canto porque ella sabe
de mi largo caminar.
¡Ay lunita tucumana,
tamborcito calchaquí,
compañera de los gauchos
en las sendas de Tafi,
compañera de los gauchos
en las sendas de Tafi.

(Estribillo)
Perdido en las cerrazones
quién sabe, vidita, y por donde andaré!
Mas cuando salga la luna
cantaré, cantaré
a mi Tucumán querido,
cantaré, cantaré, cantaré.

Con esperanza o con pena,
en los campos de Acheral
yo he visto a la luna buena
besando el cañaveral.
Yo he visto a la luna buena
besando el cañaveral.
En algo nos parecemos,
luna de mi soledad,
yo voy andando y cantando
que es mi modo de alumbrar.
Yo voy andando y cantando
que es mi modo de alumbrar.
