Borracha y callejera
La Raíz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y que alguien vaya a por metralla
Vamos, compañera, que la vida se acaba
Pide lo que quieras y vámonos por patas
Corno noma nuvem, cago, viajando com ela
Nesta volta ao mundo na busca da nova selva
Se acosta o momento do encontro com o sol
Con ojos de serpiente y andando como un mono
Voy dando cocos a los gallos de mi entorno
De noche soy la fiera que busca compañera
Hoy la luna se queda borracha y callejera
No hay miedo, hoy la luna se queda
No hay miedo, hoy la luna se queda
Borracha, borracha, borracha y callejera
Cuantas verdades hacen falta
Para callar las mentiras que esos perros ladran
Cuanto más grande es su descaro más trago, trago
Siempre fue el vaso el mejor beso para el esclavo
Como numa nuvem, viajando com ela
Nesta volta ao mundo na busca da nova selva
Se acosta o momento do encontro com o sol
Y me derríto, como un cubito en tu tubo de ron
Me amamantó una loba, dormí junto a ratones
Con furia muerdo y enveneno las canciones
De noche soy la fiera que busca compañera
Hoy la luna se queda borracha y callejera
No hay miedo, hoy la luna se queda
No hay miedo, hoy la luna se queda
Borracha, borracha, borracha y callejera
No hay miedo, hoy la luna se queda
No hay miedo, hoy la luna se queda
Borracha, borracha, borracha y callejera
Cuantas, cuantas, cuantas verdades hacen falta, falta
Cuantas, cuantas, cuantas verdades hacen falta, falta
