El Gavilán

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me llaman El Galivan
Soy hijo de un Don Juan
Caso mi presa por la noche como el alacran
Bestido de caballero
Con caballo y sombrero
Voy a pasiarme resio como un rayo en el cielo

A la la la

Dicen que soy mujeriego
Que las quiero por dinero
Nunca me compromento que me vida es

Vivo en la borrachera
Y sigo las paranderas
Quiero hechar me un me un grito fuerte antes que me muera

A la la la
