Que mi mama dime papa si ya donde se esconde (bis)
Mama nana
Nana,nana nanita nana
Con sabor a flamenko
Desde xikitito recuerdos yo tengo
Mama a donde estas q no te veo
Mama a donde estas q no te siento
Mama a donde estas q no te tengo
Mama a donde estas q tengo miedo
Mama!!! Cancion de nana oh! mi mama te dare lerelele le le . . .(bis)
Grandes sus penas, grandes sus males,
Mas grande su corazon
Q x el paso del tiempo
Perdio su luz
Como una niña
Guarda cositas en cualkier cajon
Que si me han dixo
Que si te han visto
Yendo,huyendo x el camino
De baldosas del pueblo del viento
Dios mio q guapa eres
Y yo pekeño y lele
Viendo q tu no puedes
Hacerte vieja y lele
Y siempre duele ley de
Las mieles de la vida
Y pieles se estiran
Cambiaron las tornas
Color de la calle castilla
Y tu q kieres mi lady?
Dios mio q guapa eres
Y ahora xq?
La vida si q puede
Y no ay kien se revele
Libre de mente corre y corre
Caballo no desbokes y corre
Mira xa abajo y dime
Q yo nunca me xoke
Dios mio q wapa eres
MAMA!!! Cancion de nana oh! mi mama te dare lerelele le le . . . (bis)
Y si tu mano me dan roces??
Y si tu mano me dan roces??
Y si tu mano me dan roces??
Mama y si tu mano me dan roces??
MAMA!!! Cancion de nana oh! mi mama te dare lerelele le le . . . (bis)
(Merci à kahina pour cettes paroles)
