Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tranquilo pero seguro (bis)
Yo lo conocí, en un monte oscuro (2)

Tranquilo pero seguro (bis)
Le pico una avispa, le pico una araña (2)
Y el pobre pirulo esta cortando caña (2)

Tranquilo pero seguro (bis)
Cuando ve una hembra, se da cuatro palos (2)
Y el pobre pirulo, se va pal trabajo (2)

Tranquilo pero seguro (bis)
Cuando esta bailando, como michael jacson (2)
Se prende como una vela y hay que dejarle el pedazo (2)

Tranquilo pero seguro (bis)
Instrumental





Tranquilo pero seguro (bis)
