Galleguita
La divina
La que a la playa Argentina
Llego una tarde de abril
Sin más prendas
Ni tesoros
Que tus bellos ojos moros
Y tu cuerpo tan gentil
Siendo buena
Eras honrada
Pero no te valió nada
Que otras cayeron igual
Eras linda galleguita
Y tras la primera cita
Fuiste a parar a Pigall
Sola y en tierras extrañas
Tu caída fue tan breve
Que como bola de nieve
Tu virtud se disipo
Tu obsesión era la idea
De juntar mucha platita
Para tu pobre viejita
Que en la aldea quedo
Pero un paisano malvado
Loco por no haber logrado
Tus caricias y tu amor
Ya perdida la esperanza
Volvió a tu pueblo el traidor
Y envenenando la vida
De tu viejita querida
Le contó tu perdición
Y así fue que el mes pasado
Te llego un sobre enlutado
Que en luto tu corazón
Y hora te veo
Galleguita
Sentada triste y solita
En un rincón de Pigall
Y la pena que me mata
Claramente se retrata
En tu palidez mortal
Tu tristeza es infinita
Ya no sos la Galleguita
Que llego un día de abril
Sin más prendas
Ni tesoros
Que tus bellos ojos moros
Y tu cuerpito gentil
