Razas Gemelas
El Tri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Los incas y los aztecas

somos razas gemelas

los mexianos y los peruanos

somos como hermanos
los dos tenemos las mismas broncas

y ambos cojeamos del mismo pie

los dos vibramos al mismo ritmo

y la musica nos prende

los mexianos y los peruanos

somos como hermanos

los incas y los aztecas

somos razas gemelas

los dos tenemos un pasado glorioso

y ambos tenemos una gran tradicion

para los incas el machu pichu

pa' los aztecas el teotihuacan

Los incas y los aztecas

somos razas gemelas

los mexianos y los peruanos

somos como hermanos

los dos tenemos la sangre caliente

y ambos tenemos la misma fe

ambos luchamos por las mismas causas

a favor de nuestra gente

los dos tenemos la misma estampa

y ambos la misma raiz

somos la mezcla del nuevo mundo

y del viejo continente

Peru y Mexico

Mexico y Peru

Peru y Mexico





Mexico y Peru
