cuando una mujer que uno quiso tanto
lo deja en la vida como un loco.

que ya paso y me inporta poco.
Hay mi madre como da coraje cuando uno analise lo que paso
pero olvidate que ya paso, pero olvidate que ya paso

Eso a mi me importa un pito hombe, eso a mi me importa un pito
eso a mi me importa un pito hombe, eso a mi me importa un pito
