Cuando salga de mi casa
Y me demore por la calle
No te preocupes Anita
Porque tu muy bien los sabes
Que me gusta la parranda
Y tengo muchas amistades.

Y si acaso no regreso por la tarde

Volveré al siguiente día en la mañanita
Y si acaso no regreso por la tarde
Volveré al siguiente día en la mañanita
Si me encuentro alguna amiga
Que me brinde su cariño
Yo le digo que la quiero
Pero no es con toda el alma
Solamente yo le presto
el corazón por un ratico
Todos eso son amores pasajeros
y a mi casa vuelvo siempre completico.
Todos eso son amores pasajeros
y a mi casa vuelvo siempre completico.

Negra no me celes tanto
Déjame gozar la vida
Negra no me celes tanto
Déjame gozar la vida
Tu conmigo vives resentida
Pero yo te alegro con mi canto.
Tu conmigo vives resentida
Pero yo te alegro con mi canto.

Cuando salgo de parranda
muchas veces me distraigo
Con algunas amiguitas
Pero yo nunca te olvido
Porque nuestros corazones
Ya no pueden separarse
Lo que pasa es que yo quiero que descanses
Pa´que tenerte siempre bien conservadita.

Cuando salgo de parranda

Cómo ya tu me conoces
Te agradezco me perdones
Si regreso un poco tarde
Cuando llegue yo a mi casa
Quiero verte muy alegre
Cariñosa y complaciente
Pero nunca me recibas con desaire
Porque así tendré que irme nuevamente.
