Becho toca el violín en la orquesta
Cara de chiquilín sin maestra
Y la orquesta no sirve, no tiene
Más que un solo violín que le duele
Porque a becho le duelen violines
Que son como su amor, chiquilines
Becho quiere un violín que sea hombre
Que al dolor y al amor no los nombre
Becho tiene un violín que no ama
Pero siente que el violín lo llama
Por la noche como arrepentido
Vuelve a amar ese triste sonido
Mariposa marrón de madera
Niño violín que se desespera
Cuando becho no toca y se calma
Queda el violín sonando en su alma
Porque a becho le duelen violines
Que son como su amor, chiquilines
Becho quiere un violín que sea hombre
Que al dolor y al amor no los nombre
Vida y muerte, violín, padre y madre
Canta el violín y becho es el aire
Ya no puede tocar en la orquesta
Porque amar y cantar eso cuesta
