Fuiste la piba mimadade la calle Pepiri
La calle nunca olvidada
Donde yo te conocí
Y porque eres linda y buena
Un muchacho medio loco
Te hizo reina del piropo
En un verso muy fifí
Tu gracia supo en las milongas cautivar
Por tu cariño suspiro más de un varón
Y no encontrabas, sin embargo, el ideal
Capaz de hacer estremecer tu corazón
Pero en las sombras acechaba el vil ladrón
Que ajo tu encanto juvenil con mano cruel
Cedió tu oído a sus palabras de pasión
Y abandonaste para siempre el barrio aquel
Hoy te he visto a la salida
De un lujoso cabaret
Y en tu carita afligida
Honda pena adivine
Yo sé que hasta el alma dieras
Por volver a ser lo que eras
No podrás: La primaverade tu vida ya se fue
Hoy ya no sos la linda piba que mimó
La muchachada de la calle Pepiri
Aquella calle donde yo te conocí
Y donde un mozo soñador tanto te amo
Mintió aquel hombre que riquezas te ofreció
Con mano cruel ajo tu gracia y tu virtud
Fuiste la rosa de fragante juventud
Que hurto al rosal el caballero que paso
