Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no es una vaca cualquiera,
me da leche merengada,
ay! que vaca tan salada,
Tolón, tolón
Tolón, tolón
Un cencerro le he comprado
Y a mi vaca le ha gustado
Se pasea por el prado
Mata moscas con el rabo
Tolón, tolón
Tolón, tolón
Qué felices viviremos
Cuando vuelvas a mi lado
Con sus quesos, con tus besos
Los tres juntos ¡qué ilusión!
Tengo una vaca lechera,
no es una vaca cualquiera,
me da leche merengada,
ay! que vaca tan salada,
Tolón, tolón
Tolón, tolón
Tengo una vaca lechera,
no es una vaca cualquiera,
me da leche merengada,
ay! que vaca tan salada,
Tolón, tolón
Tolón, tolón
Un cencerro le he comprado
Y a mi vaca le ha gustado
Se pasea por el prado
Mata moscas con el rabo
Tolón, tolón
Tolón, tolón
Qué felices viviremos
Cuando vuelvas a mi lado
Con sus quesos, con tus besos
Los tres juntos ¡qué ilusión!
Tengo una vaca lechera,
no es una vaca cualquiera,
me da leche merengada,
ay! que vaca tan salada,
Tolón, tolón
Tolón, tolón
Me da leche merengada,
ay! que vaca tan salada,
Tolón, tolón
Tolón, tolón
