Lyrics
No soy un pinche loco Solo quiero comer gente Con tubo para lanza Un chingazo, caes en mi panza El comegente Hannibal Lecter de los Andes El comegente Hannibal Lecter de los Andes El comegente Hannibal, animal, canibal El comegente Hannibal, animal, canibal El comegente Era um mendigo Viviendo do lixo Se tornou canibal Sua alma e do mal El comegente Hannibal Lecter de los Andes El comegente Hannibal Lecter de los Andes El comegente Hannibal, animal, canibal El comegente Hannibal, animal, canibal El comegente Latino sujo com sangue maldito Vai se acabar todo fudido Vagabundo e salvagem O inferno espera voce Carne rica y deliciosa Comer a gente es lo normal Pendejos, nunca me dejen ir Si salgo, te voy a comer a ti
