Me Llaman Calle Lyrics

Me llaman calle
pisando baldoza
la revoltosa y tan perdida
me llaman calle
calle de noche
calle de día
me llaman calle
voy tan cansada
voy tan vacia
como maquinita por la gran ciudad
me llaman calle
me subo a tu coche
me llaman calle
debo alegria
calle dolida, calle cansada
de tanto amar
voy calle abajo
voy calle arriba
no me rebajo
ni por la vida
me llaman calle
y ese es mi orgullo
yo se que un dia llegara
yo se que un dia
vendra mi suerte
un dia me vendrá a buscar
a la salida un hombre bueno
dando la vida y sin pagar
mi corazon no es de alquilar
me llaman calle
me llaman calle
calle sufrida, calle tristeza
de tanto amar
me llaman calle
calle mas calle
me llaman calle la sin futuro
me llaman calle la sin salida
me llaman calle
calle más calle
la de mujeres de la vida
sube pa abajo
baja pa arriba
como maquinita
por la gran ciudad

me llaman calle (x2)
calle sufrida,
calle tristeza
de tanto amar

me llaman calle
calle más calle
me llaman siempre y
a cualquier hora
me llaman guapa
siempre a deshora
me llaman puta
tambien princesa
me llaman calle
es mi nobleza
me llaman calle
calle sufrida, calle perdida
de tanto amar

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Apuesta - I read your post and thought "as if!" - I always thought it as a song about a sort of mafia boss who ruled the streets. But reading the lyrics I see you are dead right: "me subo a tu coche" (I get in your car), "cansada de tanto amar" (tired of so much love), "un dÃa me vendrÃ¡ a buscar ... un hombre bueno pa to la vida y sin pagar mi corazÃ³n" (someday I'll find a good man who will love me forever without payment - aka Pretty Woman).
