Buika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
También quiero el azul del cielo en el mar
Quiero amar sin fin
Para no tener nunca que terminar
Como la flor feliz de ver como nace la flor
Hoy mi sombra se deshace como el viento
Quien me quiera amar
El corazón del mundo canta en mi corazón
Mis pies siguen bailando sin cesar
Desde que apareciste todo es celebración
Y todo el dolor desapareció
Necesito amar
Quiero ser la luz que besa la flor
Necesito amar
Ser la flor que se da solo con pasión
