La Cebolla
La Mona Jiménez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La vida es una cebolla
y no hay que pelarla llorando
No hay que pelarla llorando
No hay que pelarla llorando

La vida es una cebolla
y no hay que pelarla llorando
Hay que pelarla, pelarla bailando

La vida es linda y hay que vivirla
con alegría y mucha felicidad
Deja las penas para otro día
vení, cantemos juntos este refrán

j, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja
reímos todos juntos, hay que felicidad!




ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja
vení, cantemos juntos este refrán

Se le debería hacer un homenaje, y no esperar a que ya no esté.

El reconocimiento se debería hacer en vida.
