Mi Castigo

Ladron · Top Ten [2005]

no se lo que estare pagando

siempre la mala suerte meha

de ver que me perdone dios

que esta mirando pero cual

es mi culpa nolo se

ahora dime tu que hiciste que

hiciste de mi vida hay de mi

que caro estoy pagando por

querete como un delito que no cometi

mi castigo fue tu amor mi castigo

ha sido tu traicion y asi lo hiciste

tengo roto el corazon voy sufriendo

mi disilucion pues me mentiste

mi castigo fue el amor que me fingiste

As part of a collection of popular tracks from that era, the recording captures the vibrant energy and melodic sensibilities that helped establish Ladron's reputation as a leading figure in modern cumbia. The song's enduring appeal lies in its infectious rhythm and the way it encapsulates the universal sentiment of love and consequence, making it a staple for both casual listeners and dedicated fans of the genre.
