Con Aída Cuevas

Has llegado tarde, demasiado tarde,
Nunca comprendiste, mi sincero amor
Ya tú no recuerdas, como me humillabas
Cuando yo te hablaba, con loca pasión
Has llegado tarde, todo lo has perdido
Los días de invierno, las noches de insomnio, todo termino,

Has llegado tarde, demasiado tarde,
Porque otro cariño, tu huella borro

Carlos: Has llegado tarde,
Aída: Todo lo has perdido
Carlos: Los días de invierno,
Aída: Las noches de insomnio,
Todo termino,

Has llegado tarde, demasiado tarde,
Porque otro cariño, tu huella borro
