El día que comparezca
Ante el tribunal de Dios
A dar cuenta de mi vida
Que me complicaste vos
El día que francamente
Tenga yo que declarar
La verdad pura y palpable
Que a Dios no puede escapar
Y le diga que he faltado
A su ley de mala fe
Al hacer de vos mi culto
¡Al amarte más que a él!
Que robé por tu cariño
Que mate ciego de amor
Pueda ser que Dios piadoso
Quiera darme su perdón
Desdeñe mi vida entera
En la hoguera de tu amor
Esperando lo que fuera
Sin decirte ni siquiera
Que es mi pena y mi dolor
Sin embargo ante el eterno
Será el mismo mi desdén
Y en mi amor profundo y tierno
Por seguirte hasta el infierno
Yo despreciare el edén
Pero el día de tu juicio
Yo no se que le dirás
Cuando sepan que has pecado
Por capricho y vanidad
Cuando sientas la mirada
Penetrante del señor
Que te llegara hasta el alma
Como un rayo escrutador
Y te acuse tu conciencia
Al mirar aquel puñal
Que vos misma, tan cobarde
Le entregaste a mi rival
Que no contenta con eso
Me mandaste a la prisión
Por más que vos te arrepientas
No podrás tener perdón
