Si la vida es una ciencia
Juro que nada aprendí
Porque yo siempre viví
Curtido por la experiencia
Yo nunca tuve querencia
Ni he visto un árbol crecer
Y si pienso en el ayer
No es pa’ culpar el destino
Yo soy un largo camino
Ya que nada puedo ser
Para qué voy a nombrar
Los trabajos que he pasao
Si el que mucho a trajinao
Puede ponerse a la par
A mí me supo ayudar
Una guitarra encordada
Un amigo en la patriada
Un mozo en el desvelo
Y una estrellita en el cielo
Sobre la pampa callada
Estos tiempos he mirao
La juventud que se apura
Para ella es travesura
Lo que para mí es sagrao
¡Qué vientos han malograo
La semilla del abuelo!
¡Cómo ha cambiao este sueldo
Con el correr de los años!
¡Fiero es arriar desengaños
A mi edad, montao en pelo!
Adiós, juanito laguna
Planta nueva de mi tierra
Me voy con rumbo a la yerra
Donde marcan con la Luna
Quien busca dicha y fortuna
Que nunca se fije en mí
Porque apenas yo viví
Ayudao por la experiencia
Si la vida es una ciencia
Juro que nada aprendí
