Mala Suerte
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A mi mala suerte
Para ver si le gano
Porque la verdad
Ya me trae de encargo.
Tal parece que yo no tuviera
Derecho a la vida como
Y tragos amargos.
Se ha desatado de pronto sobre
Mi vida una lluvia de penas
De penas tan grandes que
Ya no aguanto.
Hay momentos que casi llorando
Al cielo pregunto
Que mal hice que con tanta
Fuerza me esta castigando.
Voy por el mundo
Luchando contra el destino
Poco a poco mi vida se va
Consumiendo sin esperanza.
De poder encontrar
Tan si quisiera
Por unos momentos
El calor de un cariño
Sincero que abrigue mi alma.
Voy a jugarle un albur
A mi mala suerte
Viene a ser por ganarlo
Porque la verdad
Ya no la aguanto.
Y si por acaso me toca perderlo
Yo les aseguro que muy pronto
La muerte tendrá que
A cortarme los pasos.
Voy a jugarle un albur
A mi mala suerte
