Sentado sólo en un banco en la ciudad
con tu mirada recordando el litoAmral
tu suerte quiCso estar partida
mitad verdGad, mitad mentiE7ra

Andando sólo bajo la llovizna gris
fingiendo duro que tu vida fue de aAmquí
porque cambCiaste un mar de gente
por dGonde gobierna la flE7or
mira que el Amrío nunca regaD7ló el  colGor.

En Buenos Aires los zapatos son modernos

deja que tu Cluz chiquitita
hable en sGecreto a la canciE7ón
