La villerita
Rancho de lata, carton y chapa,
Pinta sus labios,
Peina su pelo,
Rubio dorado recien teñido
Que ayer fue negro.
Tacos de engaño,
Escasos años los diecisiete
Recien cumplidos.
Vuela del nido,
La abuela cuida
Duerma tranquilo
Mi dulce niño...
Vuela vuela soñando tener un dia
Como todas la dicha tan merecida,
Esa que en las revistas le dan envidia,
Mala semilla, bala perdida...
Vuela, vuelan bien alto sus ambiciones,
Sueña hallarle a su vida las soluciones
Desterrar la miseria de sus rincones
Techo y cobijo sin privaciones...
Te vi desnuda, tu cuerpo helado desvergonzado
Bajo el tapado,
Y enamorado
Por dos centavos el mismo juez
Que te ha condenado.
Supermercado
Venta de besos placer y goces
Por unos pesos
Veinte ventanas
Antes del puente, muy poca luz
Panamericana...
Vuela vuela bien alto que no te alcancen,
Vuela que no te alcancen buitres de barro,
Esos que solamente tiran el carro,
Ocho cuarenta ¡hay que borrarlos!
Vuela vuela bien alto paloma herida,
Vuela vuela si quieres cambiar de vida,
Vuela antes que la noche cubra tus dias
Paloma mia! Paloma herida!
Vuela vuela bien alto que no te alcancen,
Vuela que no te alcancen buitres de barro,
Esos que solamente tiran el carro,
Ocho cuarenta ¡hay que borrarlos!
Paloma mia! Paloma herida!
Mi villerita! Paloma mia!
