Los Crudos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
¿Serán lagrimas de dolor o de coraje?
Y cerramos los ojos para pasar los dias bien
¿Sera por miedo o por vergüenza?
Le dicen a maria que solo sirve para embarazar
Y le dicen a pablito para avanzar hay que matar
Tenemos que animar esa curiosidad
Tu vas a decidir si o no sigues
Con los ojos cerrados
