La cartita que humilde te escribo
Tus horas felices no quiere turbar
Solo quiere contarte mi angustia
Mis hondas nostalgias, mi triste penar
Tú no sabes las horas amargas
Que por tu abandono pasando estoy
Mi cartita te dice que sufro
Que tu mártir solo soy
Mi cartita tal vez te recuerde
Las dulces ternuras de nuestro ayer
Mi cartita tal vez te reproche
Por qué has muerto mi querer
Con mi humilde cartita te paso
Ceñidas y envueltas en negro crespón
Tu retrato, tus risas, tus cartas
Y junto con toda mi muerta ilusión
Si tú supieras como está de triste
Desde que te fuiste, mi corazón
Y así me pagas lo que te he querido
Dándome al olvido sin compasión
Tú no sabes las horas amargas
Que por tu abandono pasando estoy
Mi cartita te dice que sufro
Que tu mártir solo soy
Mi cartita tal vez te recuerde
Las dulces ternuras de nuestro ayer
Mi cartita tal vez te reproche
Por qué has muerto mi querer
Al cerrar esta triste cartita
Corriendo a mi lado mi madre llegó
Y aunque quise ocultarle mi pena
Yo sé que mi madre llorando me vio
