Príncipe fui, tuve un hogar y un amor
Llegue a gustar la dulce paz del querer
Y pudo más que la maldad y el dolor
La voluntad de un corazón de mujer
Y así llorar hondo pesar hoy me ves
Pues para luchar no tengo ya valor
Lo que perdí no he de encontrar otra vez
Príncipe fui, tuve un hogar y un amor
Y hoy que, deshechos mis sueños bellos
Mi pie en las calles sin rumbo pisa
Cuando les digo que he sido un príncipe
Los desalmados lo echan a risa
Cuando les digo que fue la muerte
Quien de mi trono se apoderó
Como se ríen de mi desgracia
Y es mi desgracia su diversión!
Loco, me dicen los desalmados
Y siento por todos lados loco, loco
Esos que me insultan al pasar
Nunca, nunca mi recuerdo han de empañar
Porque está aquí, dentro de mí, la verdad
Y no han de ver la imagen fiel que quedo
Querrán robar, intento vano será
No han de robar lo único que se salvo
Y si perdí todo el poder que logre
Quien ha de impedir que diga en mi dolor
Príncipe fui, si que lo fui, no soñé
Príncipe fui, tuve un hogar y un amor
