Volvió sin rumbo intentando olvidar.
La pesadilla que vivió sin despertar.
Volvió cargando la gran pena de pensar.
Que desde ahora ya nada sería igual.
Estribillo
Porque vivió tristezas,
porque vivió miserias.
Y es que hoy nada puede hacer.
Buscó ayuda sin poderla encontrar.
Vivió un romance con la dura soledad.
Lloró recuerdos imposibles de olvidar.
Y lleva heridas que ya no van a sanar.
Porque vivió tristezas,
porque vivió miseria.
Y es que hoy nada puede hacer.
Porque vivió violencia,
porque gano pobreza.
Y acaba de perder la fe.
Porque vivió tristezas,
porque vivió violencia.
Y acaba de perder la fe,
porque vivio una guerra,
porque su alma es pena,
porque ya ha pasado el tren.
