Cada vez que la miseria
Golpea en alguna puerta
Pienso como desconcierta
La suerte con su vaivén
Y desfilan por mi vista
Los dramas, todos fatales
De aquellos que en los umbrales
Enseñan su desnudez
Mudo de pena me quedo
Cuando llega la pobreza
Hasta la mísera pieza
De un pobre trabajador
Y quisiera que mi vida
En oro se convirtiera
Para que nadie bebiera
Las hiles del sinsabor
Vida Amarga
Quien sabe qué triste historia
Hay en cada adolorido
Qué sufrimiento escondido
Guardan en su corazón
Quien sabe si no vivieron
Horas de bellas dulzuras
Y hoy lloran la desventura
De alguna muerta ilusión
Y al mirar tanto infortunio
Mi angustia fatal es tanta
Que el alma se me quebranta
De ver tanto padecer
Es que yo sufro y me abato
Frente al destino tirano
Y ante el sufrir de un hermano
Quisiera llorar con él
