La Niña

Desde tempano, la niña reza
Pa' que su día no sea tan largo
Y con la luz de madrugada
Hace limpieza de sus encargos
Cierra los ojos pa' no mirarse
Que en el espejo se va notando
Que su trabajo la está acabando
Y es que su santo está en descanso
Todos los días, todas las horas
En esa espuma de sus tristezas
Uñas y carne, sudor y fuerzas
Todo su empeño, todos sus sueños
Se van quedando en sus recuerdos
En la memoria de sus anhelos
Ay, melena negra, carita triste, Rosa María
Buscando vives tus días y noches una salida
Que un domingo libra este infierno tuyo por tu alegría
Maquiladora solo un recuerdo será algún día
Y la cosecha tu propio fruto será algún día
Será algún día
Que redimidos sean tus patrones será algún día
Y que la humildad se vuelva orgullo será algún día
Y que seas igual a los demás será algún día
Será algún día
