Palo Bonito

Chayanne · Chayanne [1988]

Palo, palo, palo,

palo bonito, palo eh,

eh, eh, eh,

palo bonito, palo eh.

Virgen de Altagracia,

compañera mía,

tú para tu casa,

yo para la mía.

Tengo a San Antonio

puesto de cabeza

si no me da novia,

nadie lo endereza.



Palo, palo, palo,

palo bonito, palo eh,

eh, eh, eh,

palo bonito, palo eh.

Virgen de Altagracia,

compañera mía,

tú para tu casa,

yo para la mía



Oiga a San Antonio

a mí me gusta esa,

si está acompañada

pues no me interesa.

Enero, febrero, marzo,

abril y mayo,

son los cinco meses

primeros del año
