Me citaste la otra noche, ansioso por verte fui
Te busqué, te esperé mucho
Lo cierto es que no te vi
Entonces bien convencido
Que verte ya no podría, me dije
Será otro día
Y me fui pensando en ti
Yo me dije: Es seguro
Que algo grave le ha pasado
Porque ella nunca ha faltado
Siempre bien supo cumplir
¡Qué noche, cuánto sufrir!
Así llegó el nuevo día
Busqué verte y saber algo
Pero no lo conseguí
Al cabo de algunos días
Una carta recibí
En la que vos me decías
En pocas líneas, así
Te ruego que me perdones
Engañándote venía
Con otro amor que tenía
Para siempre a él me uní
Tomé dos cartas de un naipe
Después de haberlas marcado
Las mezclé bien con cuidado
Para mi suerte jugar
Pronto pude comprobar
Que tu contra se había dado
Tras cartón habías quedado
Lo demás lo sabes ya
