From Marcelino Dávalos, Del bajío y arribeñas: poemas callejeros que al margen de canciones mexicanas, pensó, escribió y publica (Mexico: Oficina Impresora de Hacienda, Departamento Editorial, 1917), page 155:


¿Pos qué he de hacer si yo soy el abandonado?
me abandonates, mujer, porque soy muy probe;
yo la desgracia que tengo es el ser casado:
abandonado tan solo, y es por tu amor.

Tres vicios tengo, los tengo y los he adoptado:
el ser borracho, jugador y enamorado ...

¿Pos qué he de hacer si yo soy el abandonado,
abandonado por una ingrata mujer?



What should I do if I am the abandoned one?
You abandon me, woman, because I am very good;
the misfortune I have is being married:
abandoned so alone, and it's for your love.

I have three vices, I have them and I have adopted them:
being drunk, gambling and in love...

What should I do if I am the abandoned one,
abandoned by an ungrateful woman?
