Dos Mendigos
Los Rancheros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mucha música y alcohol
Una mujer sin corazón
Le pone veneno al gobernador
El viejo monje Rasputin
Esta tocando su violín
Una versión de Mary Lynn
Todos somos parte
De este carnaval
Todos a la fiesta
Que la vida va, por eso
Baila en el medio
De la ciudad
Canta conmigo
Hasta que no puedas mas
Una modelo de playboy
Un marinero si amor
Caminando por la calle voy
De pronto la vida se pone al sol
