La Celosa
Hijos De Barron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dos veces fui prisionero
Nada se hacía en la sombra
Pensé mejor me asoleo
De sinaloa a sonora
Esos fueron mis terrenos
Un tiempo en el otro lado
Me vine para mi tierra
Porque faltaron centavos
Esa miseria te lleva
A arriesgar y me agarraron
No se me dieron las cosas
La vida salió celosa
No sé qué color será
Pero no es color de rosa
Nunca vi la claridad
Mi suerte fue muy borrosa
Luchando por mi familia
Poco a poco más me hundía
Cuando quería resollar
No me dejaba la ruina
Nunca podiendoles dar
Lo que tanto merecían
Me metí de pistolero
Esas puertas se me abrieron
Siempre fui un hombre de armas
Eso no me quito el sueno
No supe guardar la calma
Y ese fue mi tropiezo
Mi valor no se media
Pues ni yo con el podía
De frente les atore
Confiado en que apoyarían
Así mi vida se fue
Correteando la tortilla
