Que Pasa Compadre
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si usted es de los hombres que saben perder
No llore compadre levante la cara
Y mire de frente como es su deber.
Es cierto compadre que a veces las penas
Nos llegan a donde nos hacen sufrir
Pero oiga de veras compadre
Por eso se llegue a morir.
Sin duda compadre a veces el hombre
Se aferra al cariño que lo hace llorar
Lo mismo compadre que el perro
Que lame la mano del hombre
Que le ha de pegar.
Compadre ya ve que no es fácil
Hallar el olvido detrás del alcohol
No llore y piense compadre
Que si hoy en su vida
Hay tristezas y sombras
Mañana habrá sol
