Bohemia Suburbana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y si algún día lo atrapo voy a reventarme de placer vamos
A calmarnos esta sed
Desorientado y diluido en el mar no hay porque pelea
Mucha libertad no ves que estamos pululando el mar
No hay razón para odiar mucha libertad
Buen trabajo ir tras de un delfín que siempre me atrajo
Y si algún día lo atrapo no voy a soltarlo
Hasta después solo hasta que calmemos esta sed ando nadando bajo
