Mamita

El barrio desolado dormita silencioso
Y todo está tan triste que infunde hondo pesar
Y allá en el conventillo por el tejar ruinoso
La lluvia una gotera va abriendo en un hogar
Hay una enferma en cama que se retuerce y tose
- La rubia más bonita que en todo el barrio vi -
Y en tanto que la madre dolientemente cose
Aquella flor de angustia temblando le habla así
¡Mamita!
Esta noche ya no viene
¿Quién será que lo entretiene
O me roba su pasión?
¡Mamita!
El no verlo es mi tormento
Y en mi cruel angustia siento
Que me falla el corazón
La madre, conmovida, brindándole consuelo
Besó su frente mustia y llena de ansiedad
En nombre de la enferma rogóle al rey del cielo
Por la vuelta del novio y su felicidad
¡Fue inútil su plegaria! Por el dolor vencida
En brazos de la muerte la rubia se durmió
Y mientras el malvado que desfloró su vida
Aquella misma noche con otra se casó
