El Reloj
Braulio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Braulio el hijo de la vecina, el mayor
dejo de ser gallina para volverse raton
(y ahora vengo mas fuerte lucho,
no hay quien me aguante lucho no no no)

No encontraba que hacer al ver la situacion
andaba en vueltas raras para él era la solucion
de la noche a la mañana braulio era el mandon
tremenda camioneta, braulio era el patron
(es que la platica yo me la gano sudando)

ya braulio no va a la iglesia a hablar con papa dios
ya braulio no se confiesa como braulio cambio
para meterle mano hay que ser un varon
en el barrio le temen es braulio el ladron
(el mr. black)

el que no nada se ahoga asi braulio me decia
me siento en la gloria soy un ladron
pero le llego la hora
y el que la hace aqui la paga
y el que la hace aqui la paga
ya no toma cafe, ya no ve television
ya ha cerrado los ojos por ser un ladron
por andar en la vuelta quedo con la pata estira
tres metros bajo tierra braulio estara
(y aqui esta, y aqui esta el mr. black compa)

Braulio traquetiaba no le importaba que lo veian
o decian le temian le temian ahiii
le decia a la vecina que trabajaba y era mentira
traquetiaba traquetiaba traquetiaba
tiaba tiaba tiaba tiaa

braulio corta harina por ladron ademas de ser falton
pa que sea serio pa que afine
pa que respete compa
el que no nada se ahoga asi braulio me decia
ya me siento en la gloria soy un ladron
pero le llego la hora
y el que la hace aqui la paga
y el que la hace aqui la paga
(ahi ahi ahi ahi voy a llorar)
(ahi ahi ahi ahi voy a llorar)
(ahi ahi ahi ahi voy a llorar)
Braulio traquetiaba no le importaba que lo veian
o decian le temian le temian ahiii

ya braulio no iba a la iglesia a conversar con papa dios
ya braulio no se confiesa
braulio el ladron
braulio el ladron
(y el mr. black)

Braulio traquetiaba no le importaba que lo veian
o decian le temian le temian le temian
braulio corta harina por ladron ademas de ser falton
pa que respete pa que sea serio




pa que afine benja
y aqui termina la historia de braulio el patron
