Vieja viola, garufera y vibradora
De las horas de parranda y copetín
De las tantas serenatas a la lora
Que hoy es dueña de mi cuore y patrona del bulín
¡Cómo estás de abandonada y silenciosa
Después que fuiste mi sueño de cantor!
Quien te ha oído sonar papa y melodiosa
No dice que sos la diosa de mi pobre corazón
Es que la gola se va
Y la fama es puro cuento
Y andando mal y sin vento
Todo, todo se acabó
Hoy sólo queda el recuerdo
De pasadas alegrías
Pero estás vos, viola mía
Hasta que me vaya yo
Cuántas noches bajo el brazo de la zurda
Por cubrirte del sereno te llevé
Y por más que me encontrase bien en curda
Conservándome en la línea, de otros curdas te cuidé
Si los años de la vida me componen
Y la suerte me rempuja a encarrilar
Yo te juro que te cambio los bordones
Me rechiflo del escabio y te vuelvo a hacer sonar
