El Parrandero Enamorado
Rigo Tovar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Como me gusta andar en la parranda
Con los amigos siempre pachangueando
Con las chamacas siempre vacilando
Como me gusta andar en la parranda

Si voy al cine voy acompañao
Si voy al baile, bailo arrejuntao
Si veo una nena, yo la piropeo
Por su carita y todo lo demás

A esa chamaca la tengo bien flechada
Le digo frases llenas de cariño
Y, sin embargo, ella se resiste
Porque me gusta andar en la parranda

Y yo le digo: "reina de mi alma
Si correspondes a este mi cariño
Yo cambiaré todo mi destino
Aunque me guste andar en la parranda"

¡Y arriba Matamoros, Tamaulipas!

A esa chamaca la tengo bien flechada
Le digo frases llenas de cariño
Y, sin embargo, ella se resiste
Porque me gusta andar en la parranda

Y yo le digo: "reina de mi alma
Si correspondes a este mi cariño




Yo cambiaré todo mi destino
Aunque me guste andar en la parranda"
