Cuando el suburbio dormita
Bajo la lluvia o en noche serena
Cruza como un alma en pena
Las tristes calles una viejecita
Anda vagando hasta el alba
Y enlas sombras se suele ocultar
Pobre mujer, camina sin cesar
Llevando a cuestas todo su penar
La gente buena de los barrios bajos
Esos humildes que saben su historia
Dicen que un día sunietecita
La muy malita, de joelho gar
Y desde entonces, invierno y verano
A media noche la vieja
Vive con su amarga queja
Sumida en la soledad
Y así se pierde por los arrabales
Hecha una piltrafa humana
Porque en su vida tirana
No halló más que falsedad
Como un gemido doliente
Llena de harapos, cabizbaja y mustia
Siempre se leve silente
Con todo el peso de su negra angustia
Y maldiciendo la suerte
Que en su pecho congojas dejó
Llora su final ver que ya perdió
El dulce amor que de ella se olvidó
Tal vez la nieta malvada y mezquina
Hoy no se acuerde de su tierna abuela
Sólo sabe que está dormido
El pobre nido que abandono
