Benny Ibarra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que para mi ya no hay nada que hacer
Esta locura que hay dentro de mi
Me va a consumir
Se cierra mi mente y no puedo pensar
Un espiral que no puede parar
Mi miedo se vuelve más grande que yo
Triste, loco, torturado ¡ya no puedo más!
Pero
Me llueven ángeles del cielo
Y me acarician flores al pasar
Se me aparecen mágicas sirenas
Y tú eres una de ellas
Te lo puedo asegurar
A veces quisiera poder escapar
Vivir en un sueño y no despertar
No sé como hacerle, por dónde empezar
Todo está mal
Estoy cansado ¡ya no juego!
¡Oh! ¡oh!
Pero
Me llueven ángeles del cielo
Y me acarician flores al pasar
Se me aparecen mágicas sirenas
Y tú eres una de ellas de verdad
Seguro eres un ángel, un ángel
Un ángel de verdad
Eres una sirena, sirena, sirena
De este laberinto tí me encuentras salida
Cada vez que necesito
Apareces en mi vida otra vez
Me tomas de la mano
Muestras soluciones
Me llenas de tu calma
¡Hasta que regresa mi fé! ¡Oh!
Seguro eres un angel
