Por la lejana montaña
Va calbalgando un jinete
Vaga solito en el mundo
Y va deseando la muerte
Lleva en su pecho una herida
Va con su alma destrozada
Quisiere perder la vida
Y reunirse con su amada
La quería más que a su vida
Y la perdió para siempre
Por eso lleva una herida
Por eso busca la muerte
En su guitarra cantando
Se pasa noches enteras
Hombre y guitarra llorando
A la luz de las estrellas
Después se pierde en la noche
Y aunque la noche es muy bella
Él va pidiéndole a dios
Que se lo lleve con ella
La quería más que a su vida
Y la perdió para siempre
Por eso lleva una herida
Por eso busca la muerte
Por eso lleva una herida
Por eso busca la muerte
Ay ay ay
