Vieja viola garufera y vibradora
De mis años de parranda y copetin,
De las tantas serenatas a la lora
Que fue dueña de mi cuore
Y hoy es reina del bulin;
Como estas de abandonada y silenciosa,
Después que fuiste mi sueño de cantor!
Quien te ha oido 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...
Andando mal y sin vento
Todo, todo se acabo.
Hoy solo queda el recuerdo
De pasadas alegrias
Pero estas vos, viola mia,
Hasta que me vaya yo.
Cuantas veces con el brazo de la zurda
Cubriendote del rocio te lleve,
Y por más que me encontraste bien en curda
Conservandome en la linea
De otros curdas te cuide.
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.
