Pirata Capitán
La Kinky Beat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
nunca tuvo fronteras,
nunca tuvo que amarrar
su barco a ninguna patria,
su barco a ningún lugar.
Viejo y sabio Pirata Capitán,
su máximo delito
fue cargarse a algún rufián
Sube, sube, sube que nos vamos pa´ las nubes, nubes...
Sube, sube!
Sube, sube, sube que te llevo pa´ las nubes, nubes...
Sube!
Allá por el viejo barco se oyen cantar,
echa ya el ancla y ponte a remar,
zumito de ron pa´ desayunar.
Sube, sube, sube que nos vamos pa´ las nubes, nubes...
Sube, sube!
Sube, sube, sube que te llevo pa´ las nubes, nubes...
Sube!
Viejo y sabio Pirata Capitán
nunca tuvo contratos,
nunca tuvo que pagar,
su parche aterciopelado y su garfio eran el aval,
viejo y sabio Pirata Capitán
su máximo delito fue tomarse una de mas.
Sube, sube, sube que nos vamos pa´ las nubes, nubes...
Sube, sube!
Sube, sube, sube que te llevo pa´ las nubes, nubes...
Sube! (Bis)
