Me voy ahogando una pena
Que esta sangrando en mi pecho
Al ver mi pobre cariño
Deshecho por tu traición
Me voy adonde el destino
Cerrar consiga la herida
Que tu desprecio mi vida
Me ha producido en el corazón
Cariñito ingrato por lo que he sufrido
Solo quiero olvido y consuelo a mi dolor
Cariño ingrato que vidas quiero
El porque de tu desprecio
Con mi pobre corazón
Mentías cuando afirmabas
Que solo a mi me querias
Mentías cuando me dabas
Tu boca cruel a besar
Mentías cuando jurabas
Que tu cariño era fiel
Pues tu mis labios besabas
Porque deseabas otros también
Cariñito ingrato por lo que he sufrido
Solo quiero olvido y consuelo a mi dolor
Cariño ingrato que vidas quiero
El porque de tu desprecio
Con mi pobre corazón
No trates de consolarme
Tejiendo nuevas mentiras
Porque quien vive engañando
Alcanza nunca perdón
No vuelvas pues a ofrecerme
Tus labios para besarlos
Más bien que un beso en tu boca
Es preferible tu maldición
