El Manicero
Roberto Carlos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maní, maní
Si te quieres con el pico divertir
Cómete un cucuruchito de maní.

Maní, maní
Cuando veas al manicero por ahí
No te olvides de comprar rico maní.
Cuando te comas tu maní
Tú vas a ver que rico está.

El manicero llegará hasta ti
Y te dará una bolsa de maní
Para que tu puedas ya gozar.

Maní, maní
Muchachita toma un poco de maní
Y verás que no te vas a arrepentir.

Maní, maní
cuando veas al manicero por ahí




No te olvides de comprar rico maní
Vas a sentirte muy feliz
