Creyendo hacer cosa buena
Un pintor me pinto un día,
Mas me pinto por afuera
Porque adentro no veía.
¿Cuando vendrá ese pintor
Que pinte lo que yo siento?
Ganas de vivir la vida
Sin angustias ni tormentos...
Es mal pintor el pintor
Que me ha pintado ese día,
Cantando coplas serranas
Con la barriga vacía.
Es mal pintor el pintor,
Y en esto no hay duda alguna,
Pues solo pintó mi poncho
Y se olvidó de mi hambruna.
¿Cuando vendrá ese pintor
Que pinte lo que yo siento?
Ganas de vivir la vida
Sin pesares ni tormentos.
Creyendo hacer cosa buena...
