Ojitos Traidores
Javier Solís Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Por unos ojitos negros
negritos como mi suerte
por unos ojitos negros
negritos como mi suerte

Me estoy quitando la vida
me van a causar la muerte
me estoy quitando la vida
me van a causar la muerte

Si de día me encandelan
de noche no quieren verme

Quieres decirme serrana
qué hace falta pa' quererte
quieres decirme serrana
qué hace falta pa' quererte

El día que tú me mires
con cariño y sin desprecio
el día que tú me mires
con cariño y sin desprecio

Voy a decirte serrana
lo mucho que yo te quiero
voy a decirte serrana
lo mucho que yo te quiero

Si de día me encandelan
de noche no quieren verme

Quieres decirme serrana
qué hace falta pa' quererte
quieres decirme serrana
qué hace falta pa' quererte

Si de día me encandelan
de noche no quieren verme

Quieres decirme serrana
qué hace falta pa' quererte




quieres decirme serrana
qué hace falta pa' quererte.
