J. de Dios Filiberto / C. Peñajola
Desde que se fue triste vivo yo,
Caminito, amigo, yo también me voy.
Desde que se fue nunca más volvió,
Seguiré sus pasos, Caminito, adiós.
Caminito que el tiempo ha borrado
Que juntos un día nos viste pasar,
He venido por última vez
He venido a contarte mi mal.
Caminito que entonces estabas
Bordado de trébol y juncos en flor,
Una sombra ya pronto serás
Una sombra lo mismo que yo.
Desde que se fue triste vivo yo,
Caminito, amigo, yo también me voy.
Desde que se fue nunca más volvió,
Seguiré sus pasos, Caminito, adiós.
Caminito que todas las tardes
Feliz recorría cantando mi amor,
No le digas si vuelve a pasar
Que mi llanto tu suelo regó
Caminito cubierto de cardos
La mano del tiempo tu huella borró
Yo a tu lado quisiera caer
Y que el tiempo nos mate a los dos
Desde que se fue triste vivo yo,
Caminito, amigo, yo también me voy.
Desde que se fue nunca más volvió,
Seguiré sus pasos, Caminito, adiós.
