Haima wayo wangi haim
Haima wayo wanga haam (x2)
E Knaw mexa knawan
Haima wayo wangi haim
Haima wayo wanga haam (x2)
E Knaw mexa knawan
El Tlatoani del barrio
era de La Lagunilla,
tenia su pandilla y su territorio delimitado.
Bailaba chachacha y mambo,
y el nuevo ritmo del rocanrol.
Era feo y al box le hacia,
en cada vecindad tenia
el amor y la amistad
de la hija, la madre y la portera
Un dia se encontró con
El señor de La Guerrero,
afamado bailarin que no estaba nada feo.
No cantaba mal las rancheras
y con los puños muy habil era.
Al ver la conveniencia,
La Lagunilla y El Señorio de La Guerrero,
y algun otro reino
formaron la Triple Alianza que
temida fue por toda la raza.
Lo que no le parecio bien
al Tlatoani de La Lagunilla
es que se quedo sin ninguna reinita,
pues el bailaron Guerrero
a toda chamaca se la quedaba viendo.
Con este gran mal y teniendo muy triste
el corazon, solo hallo una solucion,
enamoro a la hermana.
Haima wayo wangi haim
Haima wayo wanga haam (x2)
El Tlatoani del barrio
lo que el creyo
que un juego era
hizo que por vez primera
el se enamorara (x2)
y de alli yo naciera
yo naciera.
Haima wayo wangi haim
Haima wayo wanga haam (x2)
E Knaw mexa knawan
