Un Entierro Sin Llorar
Tierra Cali Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Cuando me muera no quiero
que me tengan compasión
nacimos para morirnos
eso lo buscó mi Dios.
No quiero cohetes ni flores
ni una tumba especial
tan solo quiero señores
Que se reunan las mujeres
que me amaron de verdad
me dan un beso de despedida
porque su hombre ya se va.
Cuando me estén sepultando
no quiero verlos llorar
porque al pasar de los años
de mi no se acordarán.
que me entierren en mi tierra
tierra que me vio nacer
quiero estar junto a mis padres
para volverlos a ver.
No quiero cohetes...
