El Arroyito

Hoy que triunfar en la vida te ha elevado
Dominador y prepotente
Y fue el amor el que causa una corriente
De tu vivir desordenado
Quisiera creer en la verdad
De tu resurgimiento
Y que el amor te elevará
Solo para tu bien
Pero dicen que estas triste
Que te han visto condolida
Que la orgía y el placer
Te incitan a volver
De nuevo a aquel lugar
Donde el arrullo de un tango arrabalero
Te dice traicionero
Una pasión fingida
Mientras escucha que dulce e insinuante
Un bacán elegante te miente su querer
Así pasar si naciste para cielo
Te debes dar por derrotada
Como al final te convierte en correntada
El arroyito manso y bueno
Tu río al fin encontrara
Dulce y cariñosa
En tu corazón con la emoción
Pobre te entregaras
Y al final de la jornada
Cara a cara con la vida
Con su saldo el corazón
Veras que la ilusión solita te dejo
Y del pasado borroso
Y cual es verde
Te dejara la suerte de una última congoja
Que en una lágrima larga y delatora
Te llevara a toda hora
Trozos de corazón
