En este barrio que es reliquia del pasado,
por esta calle, tan humilde tuve ayer,
detrás de aquella ventanita que han cerrado,
la clavelina perfumada de un querer...
Aquellas fiestas que en tus patios celebraban
algún suceso venturoso del lugar,
con mi guitarra entre la rueda me contaban
y en versos tiernos entonaba mi cantar...
Barrio... de mis sueños más ardientes,
pobre...cual las ropas de tus gentes.
Para mí guardabas toda la riqueza
y lloviznaba la tristeza
cuando te di mi último adiós...
¡Barrio... barrio pobre, estoy contigo!...
¡Vuelvo a cantarte, viejo amigo!
Perdoná los desencantos de mi canto,
pues desde entonces, lloré tanto,
que se ha quebrado ya mi voz...
Por esta calle iba en pálidas auroras
con paso firme a la jornada de labor;
cordial y simple era la ronda de mis horas;
amor de madre, amor de novia...¡siempre amor!
Por esta calle en una noche huraña y fría
salí del mundo bueno y puro del ayer,
doblé la esquina sin pensar lo que perdía,
me fui sin rumbo, para nunca más volver....
