El Lebrijano Lyrics
Calle de San Francisco Calle de San Francisco qué larga y serena, tiene cuatro faro…
Dame la libertad Dame la libertad del agua, de los mares Dame la libertad…
El Anillo Se te cayó el anillo dentro de un pozo. Y sé…
El Anillo (Chibuli) Se te cayó el anillo dentro de un pozo. Y sé…
Vivir Un Cuento De Hadas Enséñame a para el tiempo, borra lo que siento cuando estoy…
