Perro Negro Lyrics by Lila Downs

Shake Away / Ojo de Culebra

0

Por la calle
Una Sombra
Se dibuja el eco frio donde va
En un perro, perro negro
Entre el humo que aparece por el bar
No se encuentra con la parca
Porque se hizo un trato para gobernar
Ese perro apareciera
Ese perro apareciera de nagual

Corre Salta brinca saltate la barda
Por si acaso escucha la corriente
De la calle que te va diciendo
Y la banqueta que va murmurando
Las palabras que van caminando
En las paredes busca la verdad
Dicen la verdad, dicen la verdad

Por la noche

Un labrido
En lo oscuro del rincon municipal
Por un eco en el tiempo
Por la mano de ese tata principal
Que se venden que se compran
Pensamientos que nos daban pa pensar
Que se buscan que se encuentran
Las preguntas que se deben preguntar

Quiere Quiere Quiere Quiere Quiere todo
Quieres Quieres Quieres que te quiera

Quieres Quieres Quieres que te adore dore dore
Quieres que te implore
Quiero la verdad Quiero la verdad Quiero la verdad
