Verse 1
No sé para qué volviste
Si ya empezaba a olvidar
No sé si ya lo sabrás
Lloré cuando vos te fuiste
No sé para qué volviste
Qué mal me hace recordar
Verse 2
La tarde se ha puesto triste
Y yo prefiero callar
¿Para qué vamos a hablar
De cosas que ya no existen?
No sé para qué volviste
Ya ves, es mejor no hablar
Chorus
Qué pena me da saber que al final
De este amor ya no queda nada
Solo una pobre canción
Da vueltas por mi guitarra
Y hace rato que te extraña
Mi zamba para olvidar
Verse 3
Mi zamba vivió conmigo
Parte de mi soledad
No sé si ya lo sabrás
Mi vida se fue contigo
Contigo, mi amor, contigo
Qué mal me hace recordar
Verse 4
Mis manos ya son de barro
Tanto apretar al dolor
Y ahora que me falta el sol
No sé qué venís buscando
Llorando, mi amor, llorando
También olvidame vos
Chorus
