Lyrics

Español

Yo... soy pa' el amor muy blando y a la mujer pa' conquistarla yo le hago ver de cuando en cuando que hay que llorar pa' enamorarla... Hoy... me dicen los muchachos: 'Qué hacés, llorón... que no se diga', pero a mi qué... si el que más liga yo bien sé que es el llorón... (coro) Llorón... (solo) No me preocupa lo que digan... (coro) Llorón... (solo) A veces llora el que más liga .. (coro) Llorón... (solo) La circunstancia es la que obliga y siempre... siempre primero yo... (coro) Llorón... (solo) Vos qué sabés lo que es conquista... (coro) Llorón... (solo) Yo pa' llorar soy un artista... (coro) Llorón... (solo) No hay una que se me resista... y siempre... siempre primero yo... Soy... el Picaflor del Norte, m'e diplomao haciendo cortes. Por diversión yo tallo y rompo y pa' bailar soy como trompo... A ninguna me le achico... Les canto 'Flor', me juego entero... Soy pa'l amor 'jarabe 'e pico'... ¡Hacerse a un lao... que paso yo!...

English · machine translation

I... I'm very soft for love and to conquer a woman I make her see from time to time that you have to cry to make her fall in love... Today... the boys say to me: 'What are you doing, crybaby... don't let it be said', but what about me... if the one who gets the most I know it's the crybaby... (chorus) Crybaby... (alone) I don't care what they say... (chorus) Crybaby... (chorus) Crybaby... (solo) Sometimes he cries who cries the most... (chorus) Crybaby ... (solo) Circumstance is the compelling one and always... always me first... (chorus) Crybaby... (solo) What do you know... (solo) What do you know what conquest is? (chorus) Crying... (solo) I'm an artist for crying... (chorus) Crying... (solo) There's not one that I can't resist... And always... always me first... I am... the Picaflor del Norte, I've got a degree in cutting. For fun I carve and break and for dancing I'm like a spinning top... I don't shrink from any of them... I sing 'Flor', I play the whole game... I'm for love 'jarabe 'e pico'... Move aside... I'm passing by!...
