Soy un esclavo del rocanrol
Yo lo obedezco sin condición
Lo que el me diga eso lo hago yo pues
Yo soy esclavo del rocanrol
Y el es mi vicio y mi religión
Y sus deseos son ordenes para mi
Porque yo

Soy un esclavo del rocanrol
Mi vida sin el no tendría razón
El marca el ritmo de mi corazon pues
Yo soy esclavo del rocanrol
Y es que es lo único que me hace vibrar
Y siempre ha sido mi mejor amigo
Su energía me ilumina el camino
Y me da fuerza pa' rocanrolear
Soy un esclavo del rocanrol
Yo soy su mas humilde servidor
Picando piedra de sol a sol
Yo he sido esclavo del rocanrol
Y

Lo he defendido a capa y espada
Pues pa' mi la vida no vale nada
Y la pila nunca se me acaba
Rocanroelando hasta la madrugada
Soy un esclavo, soy un esclavo
Soy un esclavo, soy un esclavo
Un esclavo

Soy un esclavo del rocanrol
Soy un esclavo
