De un amor desventurado
A la pobre Porotita
Ya no le queda otra cosa
Que el retrato de su amado
En un medallón colgado
Lo llevaba de su cuello
Con un rizo de cabellos
De aquel hombre desalmado
Y aún Porotita, con emoción
Abría a veces el medallón
Y daba un beso sobre el cristal
Y lo volvía luego a cerrar
Porotita
Le gritaban los amigos
Porotita
Pobrecita Porotita
Cuántas veces decidía
La afligida criatura
Romper la fotografía
Que causaba su amargura
Y otras tantas desistía
Y volvía a colocarla
Y la pobre concluía
Por llorar y por besarla
De un mal muy grave se murió ayer
La Porotita, pobre mujer
Y al apagarse su corazón
Murió besando aquel medallón
Porotita
Le gritaban los amigos
Porotita
Pobrecita Porotita
Porotita
Ya murió la pobrecita
