Si arrastré por este mundo
La verguenza de haber sido
Y el dolor de ya no ser
Bajo el ala del sombrero
Cuantas veces embozada
Una lagrima asomada
Yo no pude contener
Si crucé por los caminos
Como un paria que el destino
Se empeñó en deshacer
Si fui flojo, si fui ciego
Solo quiero que hoy comprendan
El valor que representa
El coraje de querer
Era, para mi la vida entera
Como un sol de primavera
Mi esperanza y mi pasión
Sabía que en el mundo no cabía
Toda la humilde alegría
De mi pobre corazón
Ahora cuesta abajo en mi rodada
Las ilusionos posadas
Yo no las puedo arrancar
Sueño con el pasado que añoro
El tiempo viejo que lloro
Y que nunca volverá
