Carmen
Los Tigres De La Sierra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Qué bonita muchachita
Una linda muñequita
Una mujer de verdad
Eres tú mi Carmencita
De figura delgadita
Y de forma escultural

Tu sonrisa no la olvido

Y cuando ya no te miro
Me dan ganas de llorar
Porque tú eres mi alegría
La dicha que yo quería
Tú me la veniste a dar

Carmen, Carmen, Carmen
Te regalo mi canción
En mis notas y en mis letras
Yo te entrego el corazón

Muchachita de mis sueños
De ojos negros y muy bellos
Y unos labios de coral
Yo me muero por besarlos
Y sentir que entre mis labios
Ay un fuego que apagar

Carmen, Carmen, Carmen
Te regalo mi canción

En mis notas y en mis letras
Yo te entrego el corazón
