Se fueron consumiendo las botellas
Pidieron que cantara mis canciones
Y yo canté unas dos en contra de ellas
De pronto que se acerca un caballero
Su pelo ya pintaba algunas canas
Me dijo le suplico compañero
Que no hable en mi presencia de las damas
Le dije que nosotros simplemente
Hablamos de lo mal que nos pagaron
Que si alguien opinaba diferente
Sería porque jamás lo traicionaron
Que si alguien opinaba diferente
Sería porque jamás lo traicionaron
Me dijo yo soy uno de los seres
Que más ha soportado los fracasos
Y siempre me dejaron las mujeres
Llorando y con el alma hecha pedazos
Mas nunca les reprocho mis heridas
Se tiene que sufrir cuando se ama
Las horas más hermosas de mi vida
Las he pasado al lado de una dama
Pudiéramos morir en las cantinas
Y nunca lograríamos olvidarlas
Mujeres o mujeres tan divinas
No queda otro camino que adorarlas
Mujeres o mujeres tan divinas
No queda otro camino que adorarlas
