Me Caí de la nube
Mariachi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay compadre
Cómo duelen estos golpes
Cómo duelen compadre
Me caí de la nube que andaba
Como a veinte mil metros de altura
Por poquito que pierdo la vida, compadre
Esa fue mi mejor aventura
Por la suerte caí entre los brazos
De una linda y hermosa criatura
Me tapó con su lindo vestido
Y corriendo pues a esconder me llevó, compadre
Me colmó todo el cuerpo de besos
Y abrazada, pues conmigo lloró
Preguntaba que yo le dijiera
Qué persona de allá me aventó
No le pude decir nada, nada
Solamente, pues pense en la maldad
Me subí hasta, pues ya sabes hasta dónde compadre
Y tirarme a matar de verdad
Y olvidar a una ingrata perfura
En mi cara me supo engañar
Me tapó con su lindo vestido
Y corriendo pues a esconder me llevó, compadre, ya sabes
Me colmó todo el cuerpo de besos
Y abrazada, pues conmigo lloró
Preguntaba que yo le dijiera
Qué persona de allá me aventó
No le pude decir pues nada, nada
Solamente pense en la maldad
Pues me subí, pues ya sabes hasta dónde, compadre
Y tirarme a matar de verdad




Y olvidar a una ingrata perfura
En mi cara me supo engañar
