El 28 de diciembre de madrugada, me encontré con Juanita muerta
Con las patitas abiertas sobre sus huevitos
Como recogida y pensativa sobre el nido
Había quedado fría y rígida, como una cascarita de naranja
Tal vez recordando el perfume del verano y el canto de sus hijos, ya nacidos
Dulce Juanita, dulce Juanita, mi tierna pajarita, ay
Cómo pudo caberte en el cuerpecito toda la muerte, ay
Quietecita y helada, empollando nada, tu vida entera
Duró una primavera y quedó acabada de madrugada
La jaula está desierta y Juanita muerta sobre su nido
Parece estar despierta y pone el oído sobre un latido
Corazoncito herido se está enfriando y yo estoy llorando
Ya no se oirán tus píos en el estío, piquito frío
Dulce Juanita, dulce Juanita, mi tierna pajarita, ay
Cómo pudo caberte, en el cuerpecito, toda la muerte
