Lyrics: Here it goes, my fair-haired friend, show off your dance moves, compa Don't let the rhythm falter, buddy, keep it going, ay If it's what it seems, it's a goodbye Don't get involved anymore, I want you out of my life If it's what it seems, it's a definitive farewell I'll tell you straight up, I don't want to be with you anymore If it's what it seems, our love is ending Your mom doesn't let us be happy, she contaminates That's why your father has a bitter face The woman made the man completely miserable You want to control me, but I won't allow it Wake up from that dream because it won't happen If your mother did whatever she wanted with your father one day I assure you that you won't sweep the floor with me You want to control me, but I won't allow it Excuse me, but I'm someone you won't control It's true that I'm a drunkard, but with my own money I've never asked my bartender friend for credit I've never asked my bartender friend for credit I've never asked my bartender friend for credit Well, just a couple of beers, but that's it Don't let the rhythm falter, give it your all Viva Sinaloa If it's what it seems, it's a goodbye Don't get involved anymore, I want you out of my life If it's what it seems, it's a definitive farewell I'll tell you straight up, I don't want to be with you anymore If it's what it seems, our love is ending Your mom doesn't let us be happy, she contaminates That's why your father has a bitter face The woman made the man completely miserable You want to control me, but I won't allow it Wake up from that dream because it won't happen If your mother did whatever she wanted with your father one day I assure you that you won't sweep the floor with me You want to control me, but I won't allow it Excuse me, but I'm someone you won't control It's true that I'm a drunkard, but with my own money I've never asked my bartender friend for credit I've never asked my bartender friend for credit I've never asked my bartender friend for credit Well, just a couple of packs of beer, but that's it Don't let the rhythm falter.
