Si una pena es media pena
Para que tenerla en cuenta
Solo me alcanza de ida
Y a mi me falta de vuelta
Pero para que tenerla en cuenta
Que mi corazon no piense
Que me voy a buscar otro
Solo quiero que la pena
No camine con nosotros
Pero no me voy a buscar otro
Copla corta y que me importa
Cuando canto yo me olvido
Ay si mi pena pudiera
Hacer lo mismo conmigo
Esta copla es corta
Y que me importa
Que mi corazon no piense
Que he de hacer lo que el me diga
Si quiere penas mas grandes
Que solo el se las consiga
Pero no he de hacer lo que el me diga
Siempre queda alguna senda
Por donde no van las penas
Y unas coplas dentro de uno
Que las van haciendo ajenas
Pero siempre queda alguna pena
