Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tengo ganas de un refuego
Vamos a poner ambiente
Lo qe sobra es el dinero
Avisenle a la plebada
Qe estamos en mi terreno...
Ya esta sonando la tuba
De buchanans una lluvia
Y no falta el polvo blanco
Para el gusto no hay medida
Lo saben los invitados
Quando ya esta amaneciendo
Se esta haciendo mas temprano
Suena el conjunto norteño
Mi corrido esta tocando
Aqi nadie tiene sueño
La parranda va empezando...
Bien pendiente me paseo
Entre la dos california
Por questiones de mi empleo
Me voy para sinaloa
Compañia y compañeros
Entre mujeres hermosas
Los exesos no son buenos
Mucha gente me lo dice
Agradesco los consejos
Y no voy arrepentirme
No me morire de viejo
Eso si seria muy triste
Que la musica no pare
Que no falten los amigos
Que el buchanans no se acabe
Vamos a jalar masiso
Para festejar en grande
Saben que cunetan conmigo...
