lyrics

Que buscas, que vienes a buscar
Tus ojos no miran, solo el triste manjar
Dice, que te va a decir
Un Bolero triste que no quiero comprar

Chamulla que bate que bate
Que todo termina que todo terminara
El cielo no quiere tus chirolas
De errante de errante bacán

Todo se ilumina, alegría que no va a parar
Ya nos llevara, y la música sonara
Solo la alegría, alegría de saber
Que siempre volveran, las almas quedaran

Lagarto, lagarto diquero
La bate y la cancherea
Vende, vende música Tosca
Tragáte ese chicle yo me mando a mudar

Te cuenta una historia vacía
Seduce con la olla podrida
Pero ese canto se diluye en sus manos
Porque no lo vamos a escuchar

Pero no nunca pudieron, junar algo más allá
aparece de tu alba, la alegría que no va a parar
Cuando no quede nada, hay un mundo que quiere bailar
La danza de la alegría, el viento nos llevará … algún lugar

Todo se ilumina, alegría que no va a parar
Ya nos llevara, y la música sonara
Solo la alegría, alegría de saber
Que no se olvidarán, siempre volverán

Esta es la cumbia, la cumbia alegría,
Que te agarra, te sacude y te tira…

Todo se ilumina, alegría que no va a parar
Ya nos llevara, y la música sonara
Solo la alegría, alegría de saber
Que siempre volveran, las almas quedaran
