The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

En la timba de la vida

me plante con siete y medio

siendo la unica parada

de la vida que acerte,

yo ya estaba en la pendiente

de la ruina sin remedio

pero un día dije "planto"

y ese día me plante.

Yo deje la barra rea

de la eterna caravana

me aparte de la milonga

y su rante berretin,

con lo triste de mi noche

hice una hermosa mañana,

cementerio de mi vida

convertido en un jardin!

Garçonnière, carreras, timbas,

copetines de vicioso

y cariños pasajeros,

besos falsos de mujer,

todo enterre en el olvido

del pasado bullicioso

por el cariño santo

que un hombre puede tener!

Hoy ya ves, estoy tranquilo,

por eso es que buenamente

te suplico que no vengas

a turbar mi dulce paz,

que me dejes con mi madre,

que a su lado santamente

edificare otra vida

ya que me siento capaz.

Te suplico que me dejes,

tengo miedo de encontrarte

porque hay algo en mi existencia

que no te puede olvidar;

tengo miedo de tus ojos,

tengo miedo de besarte,

tengo miedo de quererte

y de volver a empezar.

Se buenita, no me busques,

apartate de mi senda,

tal vez en otro cariño

encontres tu redención,

vos sabes que yo no quiero

que mi chamuyo te ofenda,

es que tengo mucho miedo

que me falle el corazón.
