Sangre caliente
Los Tigres Del Norte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con el negro,con el blanco y con el giro
En este corral yo mando
No se metan con lo mio
No por que sean de palenque
Van a creer qur yo me espanto de un volido
Mi madre no era corriente
Y mi padre si era fino
Traigo la sangre caliente
No me la puedo apagar
Anda muy triste la gente
Saben que voy a pelear
En negro,al blanco y el giro
Me las tienen que pagar
Quiero escoger un dia grande
Pa' morirme por las pollas que yo quiero
Me gusta el 2 de noviembre
Y ayer fue dia primero
Cuando el sol valla bajando
Van a oirse los tres gallos canturreando
Y cuando caiga la noche
Dios nos estara gusgando
Traifo la sangre caliente
No me la puedo apagar
Anda contenta la gente
Saben que voy a ganar
El negro.el banco y el giro
Me las tienen q pagar
