Aunque me miren sonriendo,

Yo conocí la pobreza,

y allí entre los pobres jamás lloré.

Yo pa' qué quero riquezas

For what purpose should I desire riches

si voy con el alma perdida y sin fe.

Yo lo que quero es que vuelva,

que vuelva conmigo la que se fue.

for her to come back to me, she who went away

Y el que diga que el dinero es toda la felicidad,

And he who says that money is all of happiness,

mentira mentira.

Si es necesario que llore,
