Esta Tierra
Mauricio Y Palo De Agua Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Esta tierra tiene ritmo de tambor y conga
Esta tierra tiene sabor de acordeón, ayayay
Tiene llanos y montañas
Tiene valles y praderas
Tiene manos que cosechan el mejor café
Hay guarapo ron y chicha
Aguardiente pal’ que quiera
Hay amores y cantores
Hay parranda donde sea
Carnavales en la playa
Festivales y leyendas
En mi tierra si se lleva
La alegría entre las venas

Coro
Esta tierra sabor de acordeón
Esta tierra pasión y tambor
Esta tierra sabor de acordeón
Esta tierra pasión y tambor

Ritmo y fiesta vamo’ a bailar
En la arena vamo’ a cantar





Ay hombeee eeyeee (bis)
