Zubizuria
Fermin Muguruza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mundu perfektu bat, geurea
Hiri ikustezinetik
Haratago aurki genezakeena
Denak zuen olerki usaina
Zubizuria
Iragan genuen
Dena idaztear baitzegoen
Zubizuria zeharkatzen
Lehoien basamortuan
Zu zinen erregina
Oihukatu nuen
Aldarri genuen
Maite genuela elkar eta
Harro geundela horretaz
Zubizuria....
Zein geltoki zen,
Azkenekoa ala lehenengoa?
Drama´n´Bass bukle batean
Polar zirkuluko amoranteak lez
Ninietan zu besterik ez
Zubizuria....
Horren indartsuak
Horren zaurgarriak
Distira berezia
Hondamendi haloa
Leize guztien hegian
Zoramena
Zer dago hodeiertzean?
Nork aginduko geroa?
Zubizuria
Iragan genuen
Dena idaztear baitzegoen
Zubizuria zeharkatu ondoren
