Arrabal amargo metido en mi vida
Como la condena de una maldición
Tus sombras torturan mis horas de sueño
Tu noche se encierra en mi corazón
Con ella a mi lado no vi tus tristezas
Tu barro y miserias, ella era mi luz
Y ahora vencido arrastro mi alma
Clavado a tus calles igual que a una cruz
Rinconcito arrabalero
Con el toldo de estrellas
De tu patio te quiero
Todo, todo se ilumina
Cuando ella vuelve a verte
Y mis viejas madreselvas
Estan en flor para quererte
Como una nube que pasa
Mis ensueños se van, se van, no vuelven mas
No digas a nadie que ya no me quieres
Si a mi me preguntan diré que vendrás
Y ais cuando vuelvas mi alma te juro
Los ojos extraños no se asombraran
Veras como todos esperaban ansiosos
Mi blanca casita y el viejo rosal
Y como de nuevo alivia sus penas
Vestido de fiesta mi lindo arrabal. Rinconcito arrabalero
