Cabrón y Vago
El Fantasma & Los Dos Carnales Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴He revisado el pasado de lo mal que me he portado
He sido cabrón, ni se diga vago
Muchas han tratado domar este potro
Mas no me he dejado

Al viejo le he aprendido que mientras esté vivo
Hay que celebrar, no importa el motivo
Por eso de gusto brindo por las damas

Y por los amigos

Así como Don Gabino nunca he entendido razones
He sido el villano de mil corazones
Vives pa morirte y al perder la vida
No hay devoluciones

Y aquí lo esperamos, compa grande
Y arriba Badiraguato

Pero qué tanto es tantito una Toluca de vino
Un sincero abrazo para mis amigos
Cuando no hay dinero y eres requerido
Sé agradecido

No tengo necesidades de mendigar amistades
Vale el corazón no las cantidades
Y arriba y abajo, yo nunca me rajo
Esa no es mi clase

Ahora que aquí estoy parado se me vienen pensamientos
De los que se fueron y que me quisieron

Hoy me tomo un trago y miro pa'l cielo
Llevo sus recuerdos
