Tengo un amor que me enloquece
Y es de mi vida, mi única ilusión
De su cariño me siento tan avara
Que en cofre de oro lo guarda el corazón
Es como el Sol que al despuntar
Llega a los nidos para hacer cantar
Si entre sus brazos me siento aprisionada
El mundo entero me atrevo a despreciar
¡Sonsa! Me dijeron mis amigas
Piensa que ese amor te perderá
Recuerda que tu vida será pobre
Y que no tendrás ni un cobre
Pa' gastarlo en un vestido
O lucirlo en un collar
¡Sonsa! No tendrás la voiturette
Todo ese encanto morirá
Y piensa que tu vida será pobre
Que ese amor te ha trastornado
Y por él has despreciado
Tu mayor felicidad
Deje el chalet, deje el buldog
Y el auto regio todo de un color
Por seguir, loca, al hombre que yo quiero
Que con un gesto robo mi corazón
Lejos con él quiero vivir
Con mi tapera sola en el lugar
Que una tapera, a la luz de las estrellas
De noche es plata y oro al despertar
