En Coyoacan
Liliana Felipe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reconocemos todo clase de agujeros.
Te van a atropellar, te vayas a estampar,
Vente despacio pa'que goces Coyoacán.
En Coyoacán somos muy desvelados
Tenemos hábitos que no hay en otro lado.
Si vamos por París, llegamos a Madrid
Tere, la limonera, nos alimenta de qué manera...
Métele a los elotes pero completos
Pa que desquites.
En Coyoacán, a pedalear, a pedalear en Coyoacán,
En Coyoacán a pedalear, a pedalear en Coyoacán,
En Coyoacán a pedalear, a pedalear en Coyoacán.
En Coyoacán vamos a los viveros
Y pedaleamos como perros callejeros.
Comienzas a sudar o vas a descansar,
Pisa una ardilla que ya es plaga en Coyoacán.
En Coyoacán somos cabareteras
Nomás calculen qué pechuga, ¡qué cadera!
Tenemos para dar, y para regalar
Vente despacio pa'que goces Coyoacán.
Vete por callejones
Los empedrados están cabrones.
¡Síguele pedaliando, héchale ganas, ya vas llegando!
En Coyoacán, a pedalear, a pedalear en Coyoacán,
En Coyoacán a pedalear, a pedalear en Coyoacán,
En Coyoacán a pedalear, a pedalear en Coyoacán.
