Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como nadie lo sabe bailas,
Al compás de guitarras y bajos,
El Jarabe se va a Zapatear
En Jalisco se baila el Jarabe,
Como nadie lo sabe bailar,
Al compás de guitarras y bajos,
Sentimiento de amor de Jalisco,
Que devora mi pecho en suspiro,
Yo creyendo que era un cariñito,
Un cariño vestido de amor
Sentimiento de amor de Jalisco,
Que devora mi pecho en suspiro,
Yo creyendo que era un cariñito,
Un cariño vestido de amor
En Jalisco se baila el Jarabe,
Como nadie lo sabe bailar,
Al compás de guitarras y bajos,
El Jarabe se va a Zapatear
En Jalisco se baila el Jarabe,
Como nadie lo sabe bailas,
Al compás de guitarras y bajos,
El Jarabe se va a Zapatear
