Una Rata Vieja
Tatiana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Una rata vieja que era planchadora
por planchar su falda se quemo la cola
se puso pomada, se amarro un trapito
y a la pobre rata le quedo un rabito.

(Auu) lloraba la rata
(auu) se amarro un trapito
(auu) pobrecita rata
(auu) le quedo un rabito.

(Todo 3x)

¡Y dice!

Una rata vieja que era planchadora
por planchar su falda se quemo la cola
se puso pomada, se amarro un trapito
esa pobre rata no sabe planchar.

Esa rata vieja no sabe planchar




esa pobre rata no sabe planchar
wo, la rata, no sabe planchar, yeah.

Me alegro por usted pero para mí fue una década de tortura, humillación, discriminación y sufrimiento indescriptible. En Torreón había regionalismo y muchos sufrimos discriminación regional
