Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que ha tenido el grupo en Colombia
Dado que el fuerte era salsa y vallenato
Osea alla no se escuchaba la bachata
Incluso me preguntan a mi el 80%
De lo que hoy es bachata es de influencia de vallenato
Y hoy en día los grupos de vallenato interpretan canciones de aventura
Osea con nosotros es al revés
Y eso nos llena de orgullo
