Se detuvo un momento a descanzar la mirada
Fatigada de tantos abriles ver
Se apoyaba en el viento ya casi de madrugada
En el frio, la vereda dio con el
Buenas noches Don Simon la botella se acabo
La cantina ya cerro
No se apure, no se apure no, le encamino yo
Y al fin llego mi padre
Con el higado y alma desechos por tanto alcohol
Toco la puerta le abrio mi madre
Y en el sueño mas profundo se perdio
Era un viejo soñador, divertido era el mejor
Muy buen tipo, bien recuerdo yo
Construia con amor sueños ajenos
El señor era artista, albañil de profesion
Y se durmio mi padre
Y en las venas le corria tanto alcohol
No desperto nunca y mi madre
Tantos dias tanto tanto le lloro
Era un viejo soñador, divertido era el mejor
Muy buen tipo bien recuerdo yo
Como herencia me dejo una billetera vieja y vacia
Para llenarla yo
Y se durmio mi padre y en las venas le corria tanto alcohol
No desperto nunca mi padre y la luz del nuevo dia nunca vio
Y en su tumba sola y fria aqui estoy yo
Extrañando a aquel que aún vive en esta cancion
Extrañando al viejo y su cuarto de Leon
