Carlos y José Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trigueñita hermosa
linda vas creciendo,
como los capomos
que se encuentran en la flor.
Tu mi chiquitita
te ando enamorando
con grande fervor.
Mañana o pasado
yo voy a tu casa,
tu mama te ordena
una silla para mi.
Tu mi chiquita
finje no mirarme,
ponte muy contenta
porque estoy aqui.
Trigueñita hermosa
cuando tomo vino,
siento tantas ganas
de contigo platicar.
Tu mi chiquitita
te ando vacilando,
te ando enamorando
y en ti me pongo a pensar.
Mañana o pasado
yo voy a tu casa,
tu mama te ordena
una silla para mi,
tu mi chiquitita
finje no mirarme,
ponte muy contenta
porque estoy aqui.
