Yo estaba leyendo un libro
Con las tapas de metal
Las hojitas eran de oro
Y las letras de coral.
Leyendas amarillas,
Negras y rojas
Las descifré llorando
Hoja por hoja,
Hoja por hoja, sí,
Leí cinco años,
Esa bella lectura
Me causó daño.
No volveré a leer
Ningún papel.
La muerte y la vida
Me dio un librito
La muerte y la vida
Me lo quitó,
Zambita y zambá.
La muerte y la vida
Por ser traviesa
La muerte y la vida
Lo deshojó,
Zambita y zambá.
¿qué le pasa a la vida,
Yo me pregunto?
Más hambre que comida,
Zambita y zambá
No tiene asunto,
Zambita y zambá.
No tiene asunto, sí,
Vida embustera.
No quiso que mi libro
Yo lo leyera,
Zambita y zambá.
Lo puso bajo tierra
La vida perra.
