que lastima, que lastima
que lastima que no este conmigo
que lastima, que lastima
que lastima que ya no estes conmigo

se que me duele el corazon
y estoy perdiendo la razon
ando perdido, tomando licor

en las cantinas so se ni quien soy

repeat 2x
regresa pronto por favor
que estoy muriendo de pena y dolor

que lastima, que lastima
que lastima que no este conmigo
que lastima, que lastima
que lastima que ya no estes conmigo

se que te fuiste muy lejos de aqui
por que no escribes no me hagas sufrir
si te recuerdo de noche y dia
y aquel momento que fuiste mia
que me entregaste todas tu niñes
por que te marchas regresa otra vez
si me entregaste toda tu niñes
por que te marchas regresa otra vez

que lastima, que lastima
que lastima que no este conmigo
que lastima, que lastima
que lastima que ya no estes conmigo

que lastima, que lastima
que lastima que no este conmigo
que lastima, que lastima
que lastima que ya no estes conmigo

si estoy llorando lo hago por dolor
por eso vivo tomando licor
si me recuerdo lo lindo que fue
en los momentos con ella pase
y me decia que me queria
y que por siempre ella sera mia

repeat 2x
y se marcho y solo me dejo
por eso vivo tomando licor

que lastima, que lastima
que lastima que no este conmigo

que lastima, que lastima
que lastima que ya no estes conmigo
