Cuando Quiere Un Mexicano
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no hay amor como su amor
porque lo entrega de veras
sin ninguna condición,
como un mexicano.
Lo llena con ilusiones
y frases de adoración
y cantos de adoración
como un mexicano.
así es mi amor, amor del bueno.
con el me lleno, con el se llena
mi corazon.
así es mi amor, así lo quiero.
amor sincero, amor del bueno
así es mi querer.
Cuando quiere un mexicano
no hay amor como su amor
tiene la miel de las flores
y del cariño el calor,
como un mexicano.
Cuando un mexicano quiere
se olvida hasta el dolor
y si es preciso se muere
nomas pensando en su amor
como un mexicano.
