Ante el sepulcro de mi amor
Detengo el paso y esta estrofa
Dejare como una flor
Y al viento errante doy mi voz
Que el llevara mi último adiós
Un día te cruzaste
Mujer, en mi camino
Yo andaba por la vida
Sombrío y al azar
Mi madre se había muerto
Y el dulce amor divino
Perdido para siempre
Nublado mi destino
Ya nada me quedaba
Cansado de llorar
Entonces me encontrastes
Y yo algo vi en tus ojos
Radiantes como auros
De dicha y de ilusión
Tus ojos me engañaron
Las ansias de mis penas
Pues fuistes en mi vida
La manada blanca y buena
Querida una vez sola
Con todo el corazón
Y ahora me abandonas
Te alejas de mi lado
Me sumes en la noche
Tan fría de dolor
Mi pobre traje humilde
De nuevo esta enlutado
El huérfano doliente
Que ayer has encontrado
Hoy sigue siendo el huérfano
De tu encantado amor
