El Viejo
Enanitos Verdes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Que es lo que ocurre despues de tanto tiempo
refleccionamos al vernos al espejo
que es lo que pasa, me estoy viniendo viejo
no se lo que pensais y ya no se que es lo que pienso

Yo soy un hombre bueno,
lo que pasa es que me estoy viniendo viejo
y aun tratare de hacer las cosas a su tiempo
o si no, no le dare importancia al cuerpo

No puede ser que esto me preocupe
si estoy naciendo, que bueno, que bueno
o para que tantos años de experiencia
si justo ahora me doy cuenta que no tengo

Yo soy un hombre bueno,
lo que pasa es que me estoy viniendo viejo
y aun tratare de hacer las cosas a su tiempo
o si no, no le dare importancia al cuerpo


yo soy un hombre bueno
me estoy viniendo viejo





yo soy un hombre bueno
pero me estoy viniendo viejo
