Del fondo soy de la laguna fría
Donde la novia de la noche va
A deshacerse,En platería,
Sobre mis aguas,De oscuridad
Soy tan pequeño que me escurro ágil
Y tan fugaz que quien me alcanza a ver
Cree que sin sol la realidad es frágil,
Que hay criaturas que no pueden ser
Luzco pellejo de barro, melena de lino
Ojos de madrugada sin color
Nunca reflejo la luz Soy una sombra total
Oigo que hay un cielo azul Que apenas puedo soñar
Sólo una vez me miraron sin miedo y sin odio
Sólo una vez un beso de mujer
Y me sentí el corazón Tan vivo que lo canté
Presa del dulce sabor Que no ha querido volver
hoy sé el espanto De lo que ya se fue
Del fondo soy de la laguna fría
Donde la novia de la noche va
A deshacerse,En platería
Sobre mis aguas,De oscuridad
Soy sobresalto de los imprudentes
Que se extravían en su trasnochar
Y aunque no soy heraldo de la muerte
Yo soy un güije de la soledad
Yo soy un güije de la soledad
Yo soy un güije de la soledad...
