La Chiqui Big Band
David Civera Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoy tengo la suerte
Aliada a mi favor,
Tengo un traje nuevo
Y libre el corazón.

Quiero divertirme,
Voy dejándome llevar
Por el movimiento

De la chiqui, la chiqui,
Chiqui big band.

Chocolate, caramelo,
Megustan tus ojitos,
Rozarte un poquito
Y cantar porompomero.

Chocolate, caramelo,
Me gusta el meneíto,
Bailar pegaditos
Y que hagamos lo que quiero.

Dime una mentira,
Invítame al amor,
Hoy hay barra libre
En mi habitación.

Dale cuerda a tus deseos,
Déjate llevar
Por el movimiento
De la chiqui, la chiqui,
La chiqui big band.

Chocolate, caramelo,
Me gustan tus ojitos,
Rozarte un poquito
Y cantar porompomero.

Chocolate, caramelo,
Me gusta el meneíto,
Bailar pegaditos
Y que hagamos lo que quiero.

Pierdo el norte en cada esquina,
Nunca sé donde llegar,
Esta vida me domina,
Soy un loco delincuente
Fugitivo de la soledad.

Déjate querer,
Déjate cuidar, déjate.
Vamos a bailar
Sólo déjate llevar

Por la chiqui, la chiqui,
Chiqui big band.
