El Rayo X

Jackson Browne · Other Songs - Jackson Browne

I am "El Rayo".

Soy el cantar del gallo.

Soy el caiman del bayou,

Cuando lo parte el rayo.



Ven, ven aca.

Vuelve aca.

No no tengas miedo.

No no te voy a dar.



Soy alacran pelu,

Que pican en el desierto.

Cuando se va la luz?

El ha no mas el viento.



Oye me flor del Mayo,

Yo soy el hombre Rayo.

Soy el cantar del gallo,

Cuando lo parte el rayo.



Ven, ven aca.

Vuelve aca.

No no tengas miedo.

No no te voy a dar.
