Pastor Lopez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

Como yo quiero viajar
Quiero ir a cartagena (BIS)
Y me fui sin vacilar
Por la tierra o por el mar
Llegare asta Venezuela
En el cavo de la vela bailare
Merengue con mi morena
En la guaira seguiré pa

Guarare en noches de
Luna llena
Si me llego a casar q no creo
Ha de ser con una venezolana
Por q soy un negrito muy
Feo q en amores ami nadie me gana (BIS)
En valencia de tristesa
Llorare si me engaña mi
Amorcito en caracas muy contento vivire si me tiene
A mi solito
Cuando llegue yo a trujillo
Me dira prefiero a Barquisimeto
Y como soy tan sencillo

Dejare de mi Amor un
Secreto (BIS)
