Contempla su cama con amor

Porque su pequeño duerme en el rincón

Lleva varias noches sin dormir muy bien

Le falta el dinero está duro chambear

Pero se arregla de prisa y se toma un café

Siente que su hijito se va a despertar

Sus ojos mojados procuran esconder

Lo abraza y le dice pórtate muy bien
