Pegue tu foto en el ropero
Para sentir que estas aquí
Yo me instale en el mes de enero
Afuera creo que es abril

Me importa un bledo el noticiero
Total jamas hablan de mi
Hice un país de este agujero
Desde que tu no estas aquí

Este es el himno nacional
Y por bandera tengo tu tanga café
Confieso que la paso mal
Y no se como puedo mantenerme en pie

Y sigo aquí tocando fondo
Descubriendo todo lo que nos faltó
Echándome la culpa en todo
Derritiendo el poco aire que me quedo

Y sigo aquí tocando fondo
Desde este mi país que es este quinto piso
Desde tu exilio voluntario
La nostalgia sigue de primer ministro

Todo esta igual en mi país
Tal cual como lo abandonaste
Las flores de papel tapiz
La copia del Dalí que olvidaste

De mas esta decir "te extraño"
Y el resto de cursilerías
No insistas en lo que haré daño
Es otra frase de tu autoría

Y aunque he pagado los impuestos
De esta bancarrota que es vivir sin ti
Ya no me queda presupuesto
Para otro invierno sin que estés aquí.

Y sigo aquí tocando fondo
Descubriendo todo lo que nos faltó
Echándome la culpa en todo
Derritiendo el poco aire que me quedo

Y sigo aquí tocando fondo
Desde este mi país que es este quinto piso
Desde tu exilio voluntario
La nostalgia sigue de primer ministro
