Hoy quiero confesarme
Y confesar mi pecado
Quiero contarles mi historia
Que a nadie se la he contado
Cuando tenía 7 años
Y fueron poco' los momentos bueno'
Y fueron mucho' los momentos malo'
Yo nunca tuve juguete'
A mí Santa Claus nunca me dio regalo'
Yo solo tuve una guitarra sin cuerda'
Y un micrófono de palo
Pero aprendí de los falsos amigo'
Aprendí a ignorar a los ingrato'
Pero siempre caminé con los pies sobre la tierra
Porque no tuve zapatos
Sufrir me tocó a mí en esta vida
Llorar cuando ni lágrimas tenía
Pero siempre supe que mi suerte llegaría
De chamaquito en el barrio, leyenda viva
Volvió La Bocha
La Bocha 12
Hoy quiero confesarme
Confesar mi pecado
Quiero contarles mi historia
Que a nadie se la he contado
Cuando tenía 7 años
Mamá y papá se separaron
Y fueron poco' los momentos bueno'
Y fueron mucho' los momentos malo'
Yo nunca tuve juguete'
A mí Santa Claus nunca me dio regalo'
Yo solo tuve una guitarra sin cuerda'
Y un micrófono de palo
Aprendí de los falsos amigo'
Aprendí a ignorar a los ingrato'
Pero siempre caminé con los pies sobre la tierra
Porque no tuve zapatos
Y sufrir me tocó a mí en esta vida
Llorar cuando ni lágrimas tenía
Pero siempre supe que mi suerte llegaría
De chamaquito en el barrio, leyenda viva

A person isn't just born with a talent like this. Can you imagine the dedication to develop it, though? That is I admire.
@randomisedbeing
Talents makes the start easier.
Passion makes the journey enjoyable.
Hard Work makes the result totally worth it!

A lot of people say “you have a natural gift” and I’m like “you know how much time I’ve spent practicing, rather than going out or watching tv?”
