La Grey Zuliana Lyrics

— Intro —

En todo tiempo cuando a la

calle sales, mi reina,

tu pueblo amado te ha

confundido en un solo amor,

amor inmenso, glorioso,

excelso, sublime y tierno,

amor celeste divinizado hacia

tu bondad.

— I —

Madre mía, si el gobierno

no ayuda al pueblo zuliano,

tendréis que meter la mano

y mandarlo pa'l infierno. (Bis)

— Chorus —

La grey zuliana cual rosario popular

de rodillas va a implorar a su patrona,

y una montaña de oraciones quiere dar

esta gaita magistral que el saladillo la entona. (Bis)

— II —

Tu pueblo te pide ahora

madre mía, lo ayudéis

y que fortuna le deis,

con mucho amor te lo implora. (Bis)

— Chorus —

La grey zuliana...

— III —

Acabaron con la plata

y se echaron a reír,

pero les puede salir

el tiro por la culata. (Bis)

— Chorus —

La grey zuliana...

— IV —

Maracaibo ha dando tanto

que debiera de tener

carreteras a granel

con morocotas de canto. (Bis)

— Chorus —

La grey zuliana...
