Ojos Tapatios
Pedro Infante · Idolo De Mexico [2006]
En la tierra mía
Que los negros ojos
De la tapatía
Miradas que matan
Dolientes pupilas
Noches cuando duermen
Luz cuando nos miran
En noche de luna
Perfume de azahares
Y en el cielo estrellas
Y tibios los aires
Y tras de la reja
Cubierta de flores
La novia que espera
Temblando de amores, sí
Al ver esos ojos
Que inquietos esperan
Apagan sus luces
Las blancas estrellas
Los aires esparcen
Aromas mejores
Y todas las flores
Suspiran de amor
Por una mirada
De tan lindos ojos
Estrellas y flores
Padecen enojos
Los aires suspiran
El cielo se apaga
Y el alma vaga
La queja de amor
