El Don
Silvestre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya no sale, ya no sale
Ya no sale un hit
Por qué será señores, que ya no sale un hit?
Si no se me ha agotado la fuente natural de mi inspiración
Por qué no sale un hit?
Ya no sale un hit, por qué será señores, que ya no sale un hit?
Ya no sale, ya no sale
Por qué será señores, que ya no sale un hit?
Yo siempre que tengo mi público al día
Con un hit de moda, que estará pasando
Yo siempre que tengo mi público al día
Con un hit de moda, que estará pasando
A mi la gente me vive reclamando
Porque no les canto como antes lo hacía, y ahora
Ya no sale un hit, por qué será señores, que ya no sale un hit?
Ya no sale, ya no sale
Ya no sale un hit
Por qué será señores, que ya no sale un hit?
Ya no sale, ya no sale
Ay ya no sale un hit, por qué será señores, que ya no sale un hit?
Ya no sale, ya no sale
Ya no sale un hit
Por qué será señores, que ya no sale un hit?
Sería que me faltaba, de quien enamorarme
Sería que me faltaba, de quien ilusionarme
Sería que me faltaba, de quien enamorarme
Sería que me faltaba, de quien ilusionarme
Ay voy a inspirarme contigo
Muchachita primorosa, muchachita primorosa
Voy a inspirarme contigo para ver si sale un hit
Ya no sale un hit, por qué será señores, que ya no sale un hit?
Ya no sale, ya no sale
Ya no sale un hit
Por qué será señores, que ya no sale un hit?
