Aqui vienen los mariachis
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Marchan lindas canciones de tlaltejios de violines
Mi bondad de quita ron
Para ser que vibre el pecho
Con las notas de un corrido
Que provoque al mar herido
Con la lumbre de algún sol
Las canciones de mis suelo
Todas saben a tequila
Tienen filo de machete
Y sabores de un amor
Llevan sangre de este pueblo
Que al oírlas se divierte
En cantarlas a su muerto
Con los labios hechos flor
Mis canciones están son
Se escuchan por el palenque
O en la ventana que siente
Pa pintar un corazón
Mis canción estas son
Las que sufren depresión
O aquellas que sufren precio
Al dolor de una traición
