Carledonia
Atkinson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Voy a tomar el tren a Carledonia
Todos saben que no hay vuelta atrás
Sólo me falta perder la memoria
Y entregarme a la felicidad

Perdido entre tantos pasajeros
Noto (...) ya todo es igual
Algunos siempre quieren ser primeros

Y yo no quiero parar de rodar, ¡ajá ajá ajá!

Uhuhuhuhuhuhuuuh, Carledonia allá voy
Uhuhuhuhuhuhuuuh, yo te encontraré
Uhuhuhuhuhuhhuuu, nadie conoce tu nombre
Uhuhuhuhuhuuuuh, y yo sé quien eres tú

Tantos cosas que no necesito
Sólo necesito necesito estar en paz
Una ciudad que está en el infinito
Sé que mi día pronto va a llegar, ¡ajá ajá ajá!
