Romancero
La Tabaré Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He cruzado mil inviernos bajo la lluvias de mi teporal
Hasta que la primavera
Es su sonrisa me pudo besar
Ahora voy con mi guitarra
Por otra cuadra de la ciudad
18 de julio por cuantos sueños me viste vagar
Yo soy algo bohemio no me gusta trabajar
Y prefiero descansar a cambio de perder el tiempo
No tengo porpiedad privada
No tengo nada que comprar
Pero tengo que cantar




A mi amor otro verso
Quiero ser yu galan
