por las parrandas
Banda La Pirinola Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Por las parrandas perdi amis padres
Perdi tus besos perdi tu amor
Por la desgracia de ser borracho
Se undio mi vida en la perdicio
En ocasiones mi madre santa
Me aconsejaba contra el licor
La pobresita murio llorando
Pensando en su hijo
Que no entendio
Por las parrandas
Perdi los besos de un gran cariño que me olvido
Por la bebida
Mi triste vida se hundio en el fango y la perdicion
Si las parrandas
Fueron la causa de mi tragedia y de mi penar
Que vengan copas
Pa que de acabe mi triste vida que es de llorar
Por las parrandas
Perdi los besos de un gran cariño que me olvido
Por la bebida
Mi triste vida se hundio en el fango y la perdicion
Si las parrandas
Fueron la causa de mi tragedia y de mi penar




Que vengan copas
Pa que de acabe mi triste vida que es de llorar
