El Beso De Judas
Chichi Peralta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Allá en el barrio existe gente que no
Aceptan el triunfar
Que no comprenden de futuro solo
Apuestan al hablar

Solo hablan de problemas y tristezas
Para que se entere la sociedad
No me extraña su tono de vileza, porque

Cada quien de lo que tiene da

Yo solo sueño con una casita en el campo
Donde mi morena plena me va amar
Y por eso a mí no
Me vengas a dar el beso de Judas
Hay no
Ponte a trabajar piensa con cordura
Date prisa que el tiempo se te va sin
Sonar, sin amar

Aum bae, a mí no, aum bae, a mi no
Aum bae, a mi no, aum bae, a mi no
Aum bae, a mi no, aum bae, a mi no

No me vengas a dar el beso de Judas
Que Dios castiga, que Dios no olvida
No envenenes tu alma con tantas mentiras
Que Dios te mira y te castiga
No me vengas a dar tu beso de Judas
Que Dios castiga que Dios no olvida

No vengas a dar tu beso de Judas, y tus mentiras

Para el que vive de la envidia y la mentira
