Aguas que alli viene un toro!
Es el relajo
Escondete tras las trancas, chatita
Que viene bravo
Why avientame tu rebozo mi vida
Pa' capotearlo

Toro, toro, toro
Entra de largo
Que mi prieta chula torito
Te esta mirando

Toro, toro, toro
Toro relajo
Ya te estoy quitando torito
Lo alebrestado

Ya van a abrir las trancas
De su chiquero
Que ya le quite a este toro, mi vida
Lo mitotero
Why alli va como borrequito, chatita
A su potrero

Toro, toro, toro
Entra de largo
Que mi prieta chula torito
Te esta mirando

Toro, toro, toro
Toro relajo
Ya te estoy quitando torito
Lo alebrestado
Ya te estoy quitando torito
Lo alebrestado
Ay yay
