Pobre chica!
Murmuraban al pasar
Pobrecita!
Con sus flores gana el pan
La florista de Maipú
Quien la viera
Sus ojitos mirar
Con temor de ver la luz
Su canastita fue
La compañera fiel
Guardando en su tesoro
Ramitos de clavel
Jazmines, margaritas
De nardos las varitas
Las quiso como de oro
Fue todo su vergel
Y a un joven al pasar
Explica su pesar
Le compra su canasta
Las flores y se va
Recuerdo que dijeron
Después nos casaremos
Si aquella esquina hablara
De tristeza iba a llorar
Su cara angelical
Dejaba resaltar
Los ojos que muy negros
Se asoman por mirar
Coqueta y tan sencilla
Un gesto la ilumina
Va al viento su cabello
Y le abre el delantal
Y muchos que al pasar
La vieron con piedad
Dirán si ellos se enteran
Las flores son su hogar
Con suerte aquella chica
Cambió sus margaritas
Y el hombre que quisiera
Fue suyo de verdad
