Hombre Gato
Kapanga Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Toda la gente vive desesperada,
porque dicen que anda de noche un criminal,
a las mujeres casadas y solteras,
agarra y las mata, las mata sin piedad,
Dicen que tiene unas uñas muy grandotas,
y usa una pistola calibre treinta y dos,
tiene costumbre de entrar por adelante,
si está muy a la vista se mete por atrás,

todos le llaman:
EL HOMBRE GATO,
todos le dicen:
EL HOMBRE GATO,
dicen que las agarra,
con las uñas las rasguña,
que saca la pistola,
les mete un pistolazo,
les rompe bien el cuello

y sale disparando,
Todos le dicen.....
