Tragos Amargos Lyrics
[Letra de “Tragos Amargos”]
[Verso 1]
Clavado en este rincón
Como tú clavastes a mi corazón
Estos tragos que tomo yo
Son pura tristeza
Y son mi dolor
[Puente]
Te fuiste no sé por qué
Yo sé que me querías
Y sé que me adorabas
Por si acaso quieres regresar
Te voy a esperar, te voy a esperar
[Coro]
Tragos de amargo licor
Que no me hacen olvidar
Y me siento como un cobarde
Que hasta me pongo a llorar
[Puente]
Te fuiste no sé por qué
Yo sé que me querías
Y sé que me adorabas
Por si acaso quieres regresar
Te voy a esperar, te voy a esperar
[Coro]
Tragos de amargo licor
Que no me hacen olvidar
Y me siento como un cobarde
Que hasta me pongo a llorar
