Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
donde te espero con mucho amor
haya en la loma mi casa esta
donde te espero con mucho amor
frente a mi casa sembre maiz
mas atracito papa yuca
muchas gallinas poniendo estan
para el casorio que valla bien
para el pedido de la novia
lindas palabras a de aprender
hacia el clemecia a donde vas
para que baile sin descansar
aunque se opongan mia sera
y a mi casita alegrara
aunque se opongan mia sera
y a mi casita alegrara
