Mi madre no descansó y trabajó hasta preñada
Por eso, donde ella fuera yo adentro la acompañaba
Y mi abuelita decía, 'Así nos salió la baraja
En la casa de los pobres hasta el feto trabaja'

Lo mandaron a buscar como acto desesperao
Al no poder curar al señor
Nuestros blancos e ilustres doctores
Del brazo de la patrona llegó San Martín de Porres

Manejaba su virtud como si ella fuera un taxi
Por plata iba el pasajero, de la teoría a la praxis
Su cuerpo, una carretera que accidentó a mucha gente
Su amor, un huérfano herido, siempre buscando pariente
