Qué desencanto tan hondo
Qué desconsuelo brutal
Qué ganas de echarme en el suelo
Y ponerme a llorar
Cansa', de ver la vida que siempre se burla
Y hace pedazos mi canto y mi fe
La vida es tumba de ensueños
Con luces que abiertas preguntan pa' qué?
Pensar que en mi niñez tanto ambicioné
Que al soñar forjé tanta ilusión
Oigo a mi madre aún, la oigo engañándome
Porque la vida me negó las esperanzas
Que en la cuna me cantó,
Pero ansia'o sólo alcancé un amor
Y cuando lo alcancé me traicionó
Me traicionaste otra vez (me traicionó)
Tú por una me olvidaste (me traicionó)
Yo por nadie te olvidé (me traicionó)
Buscaste quien te quisiera (me traicionó)
Yo sin buscar encontré (me traicionó... me traicionó)
Yo soy como el oro viejo (me traicionó)
Que no pierde su valor (me traicionó)
Si se me aleja un amante (me traicionó)
Se aproxima otro mejor (me traicionó)
Qué desencanto tan hondo
Hay en mi corazón...
En mi corazón
