Ahora si ya es imposible,
el seguir juntos tu y yo
vete ya por el camino que la suerte de marco
A mi lado no lo niegues, fuiste mucho muy feliz
pero eso no lo entiendes
porque ya naciste mala y no hay nada bueno en ti

Pero si yo ya sabia que todo esto pasaría

como diablos fui a caer
Me re-lleva la tristeza
Que desgracia que torpeza
Que manera de perder

Pero en fin ya nos quisimos
Tu te vas y yo me voy
Al perderte voy ganando
Anda vete a ver que encuentras y que te bendiga Dios

Pero si yo ya sabia que todo esto pasaría
como diablos fui a caer
Me re-lleva la tristeza
Que desgracia que torpeza
Que manera de perder

Pero en fin ya nos quisimos
Tu te vas y yo me voy

Al perderte voy ganando
Anda vete a ver que encuentras y que te bendiga Dios
