Pobre madre, pobre vieja
Tristemente abandonada
Por su joya preferida
Por su única ilusión
Pobre madre, pobre vieja
Ante un Cristo arrodillada
Llora todos tus pecados
Implorando tu perdón
Y cuando los vecinos
Murmuran por tu ausencia
O hacen comentarios
A su alrededor
La pobre te defiende
Proclama tu inocencia
Y dice mil mentiras
Para salvar tu honor
Rosa, tu pobre viejita
Llora desde que te fuiste
Qué poca alma tuviste
Para dejarla solita
Por un hombre despiadado
Que te conoció al azar
Deshonraste un hogar
Que hasta ayer fue inmaculado
