se va
CHC Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Se va, se va, se va, se va a-ah
Se despegan los dedos
Se va, se va, se va, se va a-ah
Lo que te quema no es fuego

Se va, se va, se va, se va a-ah
Se despegan los dedos
Se va, se va, se va, se va a-ah
Lo que te quema no es fuego

Todo lo que sube tiene que bajar pero cuando solo baja se va, se va
Antes era antes y antes de que duela
Más más vale aceptar que se va, se va
Suelta una canoa en la orilla del
Mar y deja que se vaya sin mirar atrás
Tu allá y yo acá, tu vida no es mi vida se va, se va

Se va, se va, se va, se va a-ah
Cada vez ta mas lejos
Se va, se va, se va, se va a-ah
Aunque me duela lo dejo ir

Se va, se va y no lo puedo evitar
Bueno quizás quizás no es tan fatal
La vida te presenta ante mi!Hey, ¿Qué tal?!
Y ahora te despides, te vas
Se va, se va

Cuando tu te fuiste conocí la soledad
De lejos era bella, de cerca muy mal
Construyo una canoa para irte a buscar
Mi vida es tu vida y te vas

Se va, se va, se va, se va a-ah
Se despegan los dedos
Se va, se va, se va, se va a-ah
Lo que te quema no es fuego

Se va, se va, se va, se va a-ah
Cada vez ta mas lejos




Se va, se va, se va, se va a-ah
Aunque me duela lo dejo ir
