Muerdo el anzuelo y vuelvo
a empezar de nuevo cada vez
Tengo en la mano una carta
para jugar el juego cuando quieras

Caminando, caminándote,
mi calle que quizás yo pueda cambiar
Esperando, esperándote,
costumbres argentinas de decir no

El problema es otra vez la situación
cada vez peor del corazón,
yo camino todo y veo
cada vez que quiero y te espero

Caminando, caminándote,
mi calle que quizás yo pueda cambiar

Esperando, esperándote,
costumbres argentinas de decir no
