La Botella
Banda Astilleros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuando me muera,
como te agradeceria,
que pusieras en mi tumba,
dos botellas de mezcal.

Por que se que eh de morirme de una cruda,
sabes bien que es culpa tuya,
por no poderte olvidar.

En las noches,



cuando agarro la botella,
yo te miro dentro de ella,
y me pongo a platicar.

Al rato siento,
que me abrazas y me aprietas,
cual si fuera cosa cierta,
te amo y te amo y no es verdad.

Cuando al fin vuelvo,
de mis locos pensamientos,
empiezan los sufrimientos,
por que te busco y no estas.

De mi ojos,
empieza a brotar el llanto,
por que yo te quiero tanto,
y no lo puedo evitar.

Ora mis astilleros,
saquen la botella
y vamonos hasta califonia oiga!!!

En las noches,
cuando agarro la botella,
yo te miro dentro de ella,
y me pongo a platicar.

Al rato siento,
que me abrazas y me aprietas,
cual si fuera cosa cierta,
te amo y te amo y no es verdad.

Cuando al fin vuelvo,
de mis locos pensamientos,
empiezan los sufrimientos,
por que te busco y no estas.

De mis ojos,
empieza a brotar el llanto,
por que yo te quiero tanto,
y no lo puedo evitar.
