El Viejo
by La Vela Puerca

La cabecita despierta, orgullo de su mamá
El niño creció en su casa de adolescente quiere asomar
Resbalando las veredas, el barrio lo encandiló
Dando vueltas las esquinas tocó placeres, tocó dolor
Se enamoró de la vida todos los días todas las noches
Desayuno con las damas, la cena se la salteó
Va caminando sin rumbo lleva la calma del vagabundo
Pero dejando la vida, donde mande la ocasión
Viejo divino ¿ dónde vas?
Yo sé muy bien que no querés mirar atrás
Final amargo solo queda hoy un perro flaco
why el fondo de un vino pa’ entibiar

Después de las juventudes, cansado de tropezar
Se busca una buena esposa why 14 horas pa’ trabajar
Pero algunos pajaritos, no se pueden encerrar
Se les va penando el alma de pronto ya no quieren cantar
Se desparramó la foto después de entrado a los 40
why casi sin darse cuenta, alcohólico se volvió
why fue bajando escalones muchos inviernos a la deriva
Las vueltas que da la vida, en la calle terminó
Viejo divino ¿dónde vas?
Yo sé muy bien que no querés mirar atrás
Final amargo solo queda hoy un perro flaco
why el fondo de un vino pa’ entibiar
Viejo divino ¿dónde vas?
Yo sé muy bien que no querés mirar atrás
Final amargo solo queda hoy un perro flaco
why el fondo de un vino pa’ entibiar
why el fondo de un vino pa’ entibiar why un perro flaco
why el fondo de un vino pa’ entibiar
