Veneno
Azúcar Moreno Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Veneno de tus labios bebo sin saber tu nombre,
Veneno que me araña el alma como un cristal.
Arrastrame esta noche mientras se oculten las sombras
Como el veneno,
Como un veneno hazme soñar.

Veneno corre por mi sangre cuando tu me abrasas
Veneno que corta mi carne como un puñal

Entrégate a la noche antes respire tu aroma
Como el veneno,
Como un veneo hazme soñar
Veneno, hay veneno

Arrastrame esta noche mientras se oculten las sombras
Como el veneno
Como un veneno
Hazme soñar

Veneno, hay veneno

Arrastrame esta noche mientras se oculten las sombras
Como el veneno

Como un veneno
Hazme vibrar
