Y he mirado con triteza que yo no tengo papa
Mamita quisiera que me contaras
Que paso cual es la historia porque no tengo papa
Mamita yo no quiero molestarte
Pero es que tu no me has dicho si también tengo papa
Donde esta como se llama porque yo quisiera verlo
Por favor no te me vayas y
Perdoname mamita yo quiero tener papa
Mamita otravez te has puesto
Triste dejame secar tu llanto
Y comienzame a contar como se llama mi padre
Esta vivo o esta muerto quiero saber la verdad
Como se llama mi padre esta vivo
O esta muerto dime por favor mama
