Mambo
Cruzito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Resurrección
Dicen para cuando se enamora el corazón
Para el merito, todo acaba siempre en el dolor
Una trampa disfrazada, por eso es yo nooo

No...
Yo no creo en eso amor!
No...

Yo lo que quiero es mambo, quiero mambo
Yo lo que quiero es vacilón, no
Yo lo que quiero es mambo, quiero mambo
Yo lo que quiero es vacilón
No no no no no

Es probable que un día de estos
Acabe metido en Venezuela
En busca de una doncella
Morena, prendida en candela

Es posible mi parcerito
Que en medellin una colombiana
Me enamore un fin de semana
Y me coma a besos en la orilla de la playa

Y a mi me lo dice la intuición
No valdrá la pena
Tengo 99 problemas y no
No vas hacer mi problema

Yo lo que quiero es mambo, quiero mambo
Yo lo que quiero es vacilón, no
Yo lo que quiero es mambo, quiero mambo
Yo lo que quiero es vacilón, no

Yo lo que quiero es mambo, quiero mambo
Yo lo que quiero es vacilón, no
Yo lo que quiero es mambo, quiero mambo
Yo lo que quiero es vacilón
No no no no no

Güira, tambor y guaracha
Lo baila hasta la alcatracha
Se siente como ella se agacha
Y si no baila se despacha

De Santo Domingo a Punta Cana
Se mueve mejor mi Dominica
Bailemos, pero sin amor

No...
Yo no creo en eso amor!
No...

Yo lo que quiero es mambo, quiero mambo
Yo lo que quiero es vacilón, no
Yo lo que quiero es mambo, quiero mambo
Yo lo que quiero es vacilón, no

Yo lo que quiero es mambo, quiero mambo
Yo lo que quiero es vacilón, no
Yo lo que quiero es mambo, quiero mambo




Yo lo que quiero es vacilón
No no no no no
