Hoy desde Paris recibi una postal
en la que me avisan que vas a llegar
con tu pelo negro y tus ojos cafes
bonita, lo se.

Ya me lo imagino y no quiero pensar
todos los problemas que me vas a dar
se que por las tardes vas a coquetear
por la vecindad

Carmen Celia, Carmen Celia,
Carmen Celia, te voy a adorar
Carmen Celia, Carmen Celia
Carmen Celia te voy a adorar
