El Parotas
Oro Norteño Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Conozco Toda La Sierra, Su Veredas Y Caminos.
Asi Como Monto Un Toro, Cargo Mi Cuerno De Chivo.
Me He Paseado En Tiquicheo, Tambien En Paso De Nuñez.
De Apatzingan A Limon, De Uruapan Hasta Morelia,
Alla Por La Nueva Italia, Tengo Una Linda Morena.
Me Gusta La Mala Vida, Y Me Critican Por Eso.
El Parotas Es Mi Apodo, Me Gusta La Vida Recio.
Melodia
Caracuaro Tierra De Hombres, Pal Quien Quiera Investigarlo.
Mi Ropa La Lavo En Casa, Oigan Lo Que Estoy Hablando.
Bien Haya Lo Bien Parido, Que Ni Trabajo Da Criarlo.
Arriva Mis Michoacanos, Que Saben Jalar Parejo.
Para Esa Gente Bonita, Les He Compuesto Estos Versos.
A Ti Mi Tierra Caliente, Mi Despida Te Dejo.
Es Que No Me Voy Me Llevan, A Mi Delito A Pagar.
Que Me Canten Los Cachorros, Se Les Pelo Baltazar.
Adios Mi Tierra Caliente, Estado De Michoacan.
