Vertigo
Alaska y Los Pegamoides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vértigo...
Siempre que te veo siento
algo raro en mi interior
y cuando me hablas creo
que me caigo sin razón.
lo que siento al verte es...
vértigo cuando te acercas a mí,
siento vértigo cuando te oigo reír.
Tendré que poner remedio
a esa tonta situación,
olvidarme del mareo,
tomarme un optalidón.
Sólo así seré feliz,
cuando deje de sentir vértigo,
ey, vértigo,
ey, vértigo,
ey, vértigo,
ey.
Vértigo cuando te acercas a mí,
siento vértigo cuando te oigo reír.
Vértigo,
ey, vértigo,
ey, vértigo,
ey, vértigo,
ey.
