Cali & El Dandee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sublime como el mar
Mirarte desde el sol
Hoy, hoy déjate llevar
No quiero realidad
Quiero un lugar mejor
Pudiera ser la salida
El laberinto de tu cuerpo
Saca las ganas perdidas
Que algún día nacieron en tu interior
Sin importar lo que la gente diga
Tú sube la mano arriba
Déjate llevar, el espacio es ideal
Que la música nunca termina
Luces que no discriminan
Alguna oscuridad
Baila con el corazón
Dance, dance, dance
Baila, baila
Siente la música tú
Baila, baila
Siente la música tú
Baila, baila
Siente la música tú
Siente la música que
Siente la música
Hoy te quiere imaginar
Sublime como el mar
Mirarte desde el sol
Hoy, hoy déjate llevar
No quiero realidad
Quiero un lugar mejor
Y si la luz que se destella en tu mirada
Pudiera ser la salida
El laberinto de tu cuerpo
Saca las ganas perdidas
Que algún día nacieron en tu interior
Sin importar lo que la gente diga
Tú sube la mano arriba
Déjate llevar, el espacio es ideal
Que la música nunca termina
Luces que no discriminan
Alguna oscuridad
Baila con el corazón
Dance, dance, dance
Baila, baila
Siente la música tú
Baila, baila
Siente la música tú
Baila, baila
Siente la música tú
Siente la música que
Sien, sien, siente la música
La música suena
Recorre mis venas
Tu sigue bailando a lo que dé la canción
La gente grita
Todo el mundo grita
Mientras yo sigo cantando
Baila con el corazón
Baila con el corazón
Baila con el corazón
Cali y el Dandee dance!
Baila, baila
Siente la música tú
Baila, baila
Siente la música tú
Baila, baila
Siente la música tú
Siente la música que
Siente la música (yeah)
