Primero la cita lejana de abril
Tu oscuro balcón, tu antiguo jardín
Más tarde las cartas de pulso febril
Mintiendo que no, jurando que sí.
Romance de barrio, tu amor y mi amor
Primero un querer, después un dolor
Por culpas que nunca tuvimos
Por culpas que debimos sufrir los dos.
Hoy vivirás despreciándome,tal vez sín soñar
Que lamento al no poderte tener
El dolor de no saber olvidar
Hoy estarás como nunca lejos mío
Lejos de tanto llorar fué porque si, que el despecho te cegó como a mí
Sín mirar que en el rencor del adiós
Castigabas con crueldad tu corazón,
Fué porque sí, que de pronto no supimos pensar
Que es más facil renegar y partir que vivir sín olvidar
Ceniza del tiempo la cita de abril,
Tu oscuro balcón, tu antiguo jardín,
Las cartas trazadas con mano febril,
Mintiendo que no, jurando que sí.
Retornan vencidas tu voz y mi voz
Trayendo al volver con tonos de horror
Las culpas que nunca tuvimos,
Las culpas que debimos pagar los dos.
