La quema tendió su colcha, Su colcha roja en el banco Pensando que tiene frío La noche del Llano Abajo. La noche se fue corriendo Por el terronal pelado. Mira que tiembla de fiebre Y se va a tirar al caño. Al callejón en peligro Yo salí a buscar mis pasos, Y encontré la noche muerta Tendida en el Llano Abajo.
