Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me toquen un porro es lo que quiero (Bis).
Qué tiene este porro
Qué tiene su música
Que cuando lo oigo
Me dan ganas de bailar
Y es que mi cuerpo
Como es sabanero
Alegra mi corazón
Que me toquen un porro sabanero
Que me toquen un porro es lo que quiero (Bis)
Cuando estoy ausente
Y escucho este porro
Vienen a mi mente
Amigos que añoro
Y Paco al mantero
De la costa mía
Al de Sincelejo
O al de Montería
Que me toquen un porro sabanero
Que me toquen un porro es lo que quiero (Bis)
Que me toquen un porro sabanero
Que me toquen un porro es lo que quiero
Que me toquen un porro sabanero
