Un ciego con una piba
Limosna pidiendo va
Rascando el viejo una viola
Y tarareando un gotán
La piba con voz tristona
Acompaña a su patrón
La copla que el viejo gime
Y que dice esta canción
Vivir es morirse soñando mentiras
Vivir es un sueño que cuesta la vida
Vivir sin quereres, vivir sin amor
Es irse muriendo de pena y dolor
Y canta cantando, recorren los barrios
Soñando quimeras para un porvenir
Al tiempo que el cobre sonando al caer
Despierta al cieguito que está por dormir
De tanto cantar la copla
La piba bien la aprendió
Que amuro al pobre cieguito
Por un mal hombre de amor
Y hoy triste por esos mundos
Recuerda a su buen patrón
Que abandono traicionera
Por aquella cruel canción
Cantando milongas, la pobre chiquita
Hoy pide a los hombres una limosnita
Y evoca el recuerdo de aquella canción
Que un día aprendiera de su buen patrón
Vivir es morirse soñando mentiras
Vivir es un sueño que cuesta la vida
Vivir sin quereres, vivir sin amor
Es irse muriendo de pena y dolor
