Bamboleo
Chico & The Gypsies Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ese amor llega así, esta manera
No tiene la culpa
Caballo de danza vana
Porque es muy despreciado por eso
No te perdondo llorar

Ese amor llega así, esta manera
No tiene la culpa

Amor de compra y venta
Amor de en el pasado

Ben-de-lein, ben-de-lein, ben-de-lein
Bein, ben-de-lein, ben-de-lein

Bamboleio, bamboleia
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir así
Bamboleio, bamboleia
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir así

No tenés perdón de Dios
Tú eres mi vida la fortuna del destino
En el destino del desamparado
Lo mismo ya que ayer
Lo mismo soy yo

No te encuentro el abandon'
Era imposible, no te encuentro de verdad
Por eso un día no encuentro si de nada
Lo mismo ya que ayer
Lo pienso en ti

Bamboleio, bamboleia
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir así
Bamboleio, bamboleia
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir así

Bamboleio, bamboleia
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir así
Bamboleio, bamboleia
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir así

Bamboleio, bamboleia
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir así
Bamboleio, bamboleia
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir así

Bamboleio, bamboleia
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir así
Bamboleio, bamboleia

Porque mi vida yo la prefiero
Vivir así
