(Canción)*
Me he dado cuenta
de que miento.
Siempre he mentido,
siempre he mentido.
He escrito tanta
inútil cosa,
sin descubrirme,
sin dar conmigo.
No amar en seco,
con tanto dolor,
es quizá la última verdad
que queda en mi interior,
bajo mi corazón.
No sé si fue
que malgasté mi fe
en amores sin porvenir,
que no me queda ya
ni un grano de sentir.
(Yo sé que a nadie
le interesa
lo de otra gente
con sus tristezas.)
Esta canción
es más que una canción,
y un pretexto para sufrir,**
y más que mi vivir,
y más que mi sentir.
Esta canción es la necesidad
de agarrarme a la tierra al fin,
de que te veas en mí,
de que me vea en ti.
(Yo sé que hay gente
que me quiere,
yo sé que hay gente
que no me quiere.)
* Alfredo Zitarrosa la canta por milonga.
** Alfredo Zitarrosa dice "o un pretexto para sufrir".
