¿Para qué yo vivo?
¿Por qué no muero?
Para vivir sufriendo,
la muerte quiero.
Cuentan de aquel día
que al mundo llegué
mi madre dio un suspiro,
me dejó y se fue.
Mi canción es pena,
mis versos, dolor,
mi voz es un lamento,
castigo de Dios.
De amargura llevo
el alma llena
y no hay día alegre
ni noche buena.
La noche está clara,
igual que el día.
Vi antes, como nunca,
a las tres Marías.
Estrella del cielo:
¿por qué me mirás?
Dime que te causa pena
el verme llorar.
Para los desengaños,
nadie es como yo.
Más duro que la piedra
tengo el corazón.
De amargura llevo
el alma llena
y no hay día alegre,
ni noche buena.
