El Errante
Quinto Criollo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ESTROFA.
Un marinero a la playa llego y con una voz muy triste implorando al cielo canto esta cancion.
Virgen del Valle mañana me voy de aqui
no tengo a naiden y solo te llevo a ti.

Virgen Bendita indiecita wuaiqueri echale viento a mi vela mañana me voy de aqui.

Es un marinero que perdiensose en el mar esta sin ancla y sin remos y sin rumbo que buscar.
es un alma errante que una pena quiere ahogar en el cielo que se pierde en la inmensidad del mar. uuuuuu(bis).
