Mala Vida
Manu Chao · Baionarena [2009]
yo pronto me voy a escapar
gitana mia por lo menos date cuenta
gitana mia por favor
no me dejas ni respirar
tu me estas dando mala vida
cada dia se la traga mi corazon !
dime tu porque te trato yo tan bien
cuando tu me hablas como un cabron
gitana mia !
mi corazito està sufriendo
gitana mia por favor
sufriendo mal nutricion
tu me estas dando mala vida
cada dia se la traga mi corazon !
