Maria La O

Mulata infeliz tu vida acabó
De risa y guaracha se ha roto el bongó
Que oias ayer temblando de amor
Y con ilusión junto a un hombre cruel
Su amor ya se fue de mi corazón
Que hoy ya la aborrece porque mi pasión
Que hirió su traición yan tan solo es
Sed de verlo al fin tendido a mis pies
María la o ya no más cantar
María la o hora es de llorar
De tus besos, que tan fugaz ya voló
María la o toso se acabó
Tu amor ya se fue de tu corazón
Y jamás él volverá
María la o sueña en morir
