Mira Niñita
by Los Jaivas
Mira niñita
te voy a llevar
a ver la Luna
brillando en el mar,
mira hacia el cielo
y olvida ese lánguido temor
que fue permanente emoción.
Ah, fue permanente emoción.
Para la hija
de un hombre con ojos de cristal
y papel sellado en la piel.
Mira niñita
te voy a llevar
a ver la Luna
brillando en el mar,
mira hacia el cielo
y olvida ese lánguido temor
que fue permanente emoción.
Ah fue permanente emoción.
Para la hija
de un hombre con ojos de cristal
y papel sellado en la piel.
Mira hacia el cielo
y olvida es lánguido temor
que fue permanente emoción.
Ah fue permanente emoción.
Ah tu pelito y
tus ojos de miel, pero ya en tu pecho
florecerán colores
de amor.
Florecerán
Tu pelito y tus ojos de miel.
La ternura tendrán para tí,
para tí.
Florecerán
Tu pelito.
