Perro Negro(Lila Downs)

Por la calle, una sombra,
se dibuja el eco frio donde va,
ese perro, perro negro,
entre el humo que aparece por el bar.
No se encuentra, con la parca,
porque se hizo un trato para gobernar,
ese perro apareciera,
ese perro aprareciera de nahual.
Corre, salta, brinca, sáltate la barda,
por si acaso escucha la corriente,
de la calle, que te va diciendo,
la banqueta que va murmurando,
las palabras que van caminando,
las paredes buscan la verdad,
dicen la verdad, dicen la verdad.
Por la noche, un ladrido,
en lo obscuro del rincón municipal,
por un eco, en el tiempo,
por la mano de ese tata principal.
Que se venden, que se compran,
pensamientos que nos daban pa pensar,
que se buscan, que se encuentran,
las preguntas que se deben preguntar.
Quiere, quiere, quiere, quiere quiere todo,
quieres, quieres quieres que te quiera,
quieres, quieres, quieres que te adore,
dore, dore, quieres que te implore,
quiero, quiero, quiero la verdad,
y quiero, quiero, quiero la verdad,
quiero la verdad,
quiero la verdad.
