Nací En Álamo Lyrics
Yasmin Levy
Lyrics
O tengo lugar
y no tengo paisaje
yo menos tengo patria
con mis dedos hago el fuego
y con mi corazon te canto
las cuerdas de mi corazon lloran
O tengo lugar
y no tengo paisaje
yo menos tengo patria
con mis dedos hago el fuego
y con mi corazon te canto
las cuerdas de mi corazon lloran
Naci en alamo
Naci en alamo
no tengo lugar
y no tengo paisaje
yo menos tengo patria
O tengo lugar
y no tengo paisaje
yo menos tengo patria
Naci en alamo
Naci en alamo
no tengo lugar
y no tengo paisaje
yo menos tengo patria
