Hoy en mi ventana brilla el sol y el corazon
Se pone triste contemplando la ciudad
Porque te vas

Como cada noche desperte pensando en ti
Y en mi reloj todas las horas vi pasar
Porque te vas

Todas las promesas de mi amor se iran contigo
Me olvidaras, me olvidaras
Y como cada noche llorare igual que un niño
Porque te vas, porque te vas

Bajo la penumbra sin farol se dormiran
Todas las cosas que quedaron por decir
Se dormiran

Junto a las manillas del reloj esperaran
Todas las horas que quedaron por vivir
Esperaran

Porque te vas

Porque te vas
