Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jamás imagine q tú me dejaras
pero q tonto he sido yo por creer en tu amor
a veces en la vida nos paga con mala jugada.
hoy solo me queda llanto y dolor ,
hay amor estoy tomando
esta llorando mi herido corazón.
quiero tomar y tomar para olvidar.
hay amor estoy tomando está llorando mi herido corazón.
cantinero por favor dame otra cerveza
quiero tomar y tomar para olvidar quiero tomar y tomar para olvidar
Y me ahogaré en mal de licor para olvidar el dolor q me causaste por queee.
Jamás imagine q tú me dejaras
pero q tonto he sido yo por creer en tu amor
a veces en la vida nos paga con mala jugada.
hoy solo me queda llanto y dolor ,
hay amor estoy tomando
esta llorando mi herido corazón.
Cantinero por favor dame otra cerveza
