La Carta Lyrics
Los Terricolas
Lyrics
oh, carta de ernesto
que me dira
"recordada denisse
pensando en mil cosas quiza
con el humo por testigo
esta carta empeze a redactar"
querida mia... perdona
si te ofendo al escribirte
pero me siento muy triste
por lo que anoche paso
hasta estoy arrepentido
y si acaso tu lo estas
ya no debes llorar mas
tienes que tener valor
por si dios te manda un hijo
por lo mas grande te exijo
que no le pongas mi nombre
para que no sea
como yo
que nunca pruebe licor
que nunca sufra una pena
y que nunca se enamore
de la mujeres ajenas
que nunca sienta rencor
que a mi me corre en las venas
por que es triste soportar
esta terrible condena
