La Marea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Si tu eres mi carnal,
déjame ser tu ranchito.
Si tu eres mi nopal,
déjame ser tu taquito.
Pa llenar la pancita mama,
pancita de suadero.
Con todo y cebollita,
mama, vámonos a comer.
Vámonos de jaleo,
mama, vámonos ya.
La marea va subiendo,
mama, vamonos ya.
Por la vieja Sonora la marea va subiendo.
Por la vieja sonora caen gotas a montón.
Sopita de camarón se la lleva la corriente.
Sopita de camarón la marea va subiendo.
Subiendo mama,
va subiendo la marea.
Subiendo mama,
va subiendo, ay que marea!
Si tu eres mi carnal,
déjame ser tu ranchito.
Si tu eres mi nopal,
déjame ser tu taquito.
Vámonos de jaleo,
mama, vamonos ya.
La marea va subiendo,
mama, vamonos ya.
Hoy tuve miedo de mi sombrita,
ahi en la esquina del raval.
Hoy tuve miedo de mi sombrita,
so me tumbé bajo el sol.
Mama, la marea va subiendo.
Mama, va subiendo hay que marea.
(nada es para siempre)
