Ay te mando esta carta de luto
Pa' desirte lo mucho que siento
Es tan grande el amor que te tengo
Que ya siento mi corazon muerto
Esta carta con sangre va escrita
Mas no creas que por falta de tinta
Solo quiero que al verla comprendas
Que se encuentra mi vida marchita
Si esta carta de luto te escribo
Porque triste y negro es mi destino
Pero al fin lograre consolarme
Porque dios me mando este camino
Al llegar esta carta a tus manos
Solo quiero pedirte un favor
Que te fijes muy bien lo que dises
Para alivo de mi corazon
Cuando escuches sonar las campanas
Del reloj que esta frente al pantion
Solo quiero que mires al cielo
Y que reces por mi una oracion
Si esta carta de luto te escribo
Porque triste y negro es mi destino
Pero al fin lograre consolarme
