Midinette, que trabajas todo el año
Dulce consuelo, y honra de tu hogar
Ten cuidado, paloma codiciada
Que muchos gavilanes
Te acechan sin cesar
Cuando escuchen mil mentiras tus oídos
De los que visten cual maniquí vivant
Midinette, son frases estudiadas
Que han de decirte aquellos
Que asediándote están
Nunca te mires, en el quebrado espejo
De la que sufre, creyendo que es gozar
Vestir de seda el cuerpo que ha vendido
Lucirte en auto, bailar y trasnochar
Jamás te apene tu condición humilde
Porque en tus ojos que siempre yo admiré
Se asoma un alma que tiene algo de templo
Y sacrilegio, como en el cabaret
Midinette, que trabajas todo el año
Tu madre reza porque seas feliz
Y a Dios ruega que ampare del peligro
Que sigue a las hermosas
Peligro de un desliz
No te olvides que el mundo no perdona
Solo una madre tiene esa virtud
Y si muere de pena por tu culpa
¿Quién te dará consuelo?
¡Tan solo el ataúd!
