ADO
Mijares Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Estoy esperando mi camión
En la terminal del A.D.O.
Estoy esperando mi camión
En la terminal del A.D.O.
Quiero que me lleve muy lejos
Y a la chingada de aquí

No me he podido consolar

Desde que mi novia me dejó
No me he podido consolar
Desde que mi novia me dejó
No me consuelan las chaquetas
Ni las pastas ni el alcohol

Yo la traté como a una reina
Le dí todo lo mejor
Le dí todo mi dinero
Y le dí todo mi amor
Y sin embargo,
Ella me abandonó

Estoy esperando mi camión
En la terminal del A.D.O.
No me he podido consolar
Desde que mi novia me dejó
No me he podido consolar
Desde que mi novia me dejó
No me consuela ni la mota
Ni las pastas ni el alcohol

Yo la traté como a una reina
Le dí todo lo mejor
Le di todo mi dinero
Y le dí todo mi amor
Y sin embargo,
Ella me abandonó

Estoy esperando mi camión
En la terminal del A.D.O.
Estoy esperando mi camión
En la terminal del A.D.O.

Quiero que me lleve muy lejos
Y a la chingada de aquí
