Álvaro Henríquez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caramba me lo dijo una enfermera
Caramba me lo dijo una enfermera
Caramba por eso soy bueno pa'l agua
Caramba por eso pido receta
Caramba tengo mas alcohol que sangre
Con millones de aguja' yo me divierto
No me las clave toda', sí ya estoy muerto
Y ya estoy muerto sí, el agua es clara
La sangre siguió oscura, la vida es plana
Muerte no me persiga, vuelvo enseguida
