Yo nací de amor  y comadrona
En la misma cama de mama
Por una cuestión de cromosomas
Fui el varón que quiso mi papa.

Mi viejo era el profe de la escuela
Mi mama el sargento del lugar
Yo era su boceto en acuarela
El tercero y último en llegar.

Vi tantas lunas
Que hoy ya no se si soy o fui
Tantas vacunas
Para lograr sobrevivir.

Aprendí a correr una mañana
Antes de aprender a  caminar
Un teniente entro por la ventana
Y a todos nos dio por escapar.

Brasil fue campeón en el `70
Y en la radio Pol decía ei you
El gol de pele en cámara lenta
Y el cigarro entraba en el menú

Vi tantas lunas
Que hoy ya no se si soy o fui
Tantas vacunas
Para lograr sobrevivir.

Conocí el amor con la vecina
Y también alguna enfermedad
El doctor mandó penicilina
El amor cobró con soledad

Fui maestro y fui universitario
Golfo, cara dura y sobrador
Mientras el cabrón del calendario
No te hace jamás ningún favor.

Vi tantas lunas
Que hoy ya no se si soy o fui
Tantas vacunas
Para lograr sobrevivir.

Le pongo play a mi cerebro
Para ver lo que un día fui
Vida
Porque se acabara la vida
Te ves jugando a la escondida
Y al voltear preguntas
Vida
Porque caucara la vida
Aprendes a decir  que tal
Y despedida y dices
Vida
Porque se acabara la vida
Te ves jugando a la escondida
Y al voltear preguntas
Vida
Porque caucara la vida
Aprendes a decir  que tal
Y despedida y gritas
Vida

Recibí el 2000 con pirotecnia
Ya no rento ni padezco soledad
Desde el parto ya comparto la epidemia
De este síndrome de la caducidad
