Yo soy reo sin ambiente
No caí por una mina
Ni me sepulto en la ruina
El ser taura o gigoló
No fui guapo prepotente
De una fama comentada
Que, una noche, en la cortada
Un rival me destrono
Yo soy un pobre reo
Sin cuento, ni leyenda
No tengo quien me venda
Cariño ni ilusión
Es mi único deseo
Pasarla en la catrera
No tengo quien me quiera
Sino un perro rabón
En mi bulín mistongo
No hay cintas, ni moñitos
Ni aquellos retratitos
Que pinta la canción
No escucho ni el rezongo
De un fuelle que se queja
No tengo pena vieja
Ni preocupación
Observando que la gente
Rinde culto a la mentira
Y el amor, con que se mira
Al que goza de poder
Descreído, indiferente
Insensible, todo niego
Para mí la vida es juego
De ganar o de perder
