tú encontrarás un flamenquito
que a ti te quiera
igual que yo

Me voy pa’l castillo

Alegrías de Córdoba
Le regalé flores y flores
y me abrió su jardín
ya sé que estos amores
nunca tendrán fin
Rhythm,
You either have it or you don’t.

La única que me quiere
es mi Carmela
Unas veces me da dolor
y otras me ahoga la pena

Navega por la bahía
sin que lo sepa la luna
