Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya siento el olor de los jazmines y el azahar
Traigo los bolsillos rotos por las piedras
Alma en mil jirones que acumulo del vagar
De nada sirve que abandones a tu verdad
Que te entregues a la vida olvidando de donde vienes y a donde vas
Los sentimientos que son buenos
ay ay ay, bendita suerte
Tus emociones, tus emociones
ay ay ay, cómo se sienten
Tus emociones, tus emociones
Tus ilusiones no deben marchitar
Canto por la gente que no puede ver a su familia
Por los que respiran el aire y los andares del pesar
Cura de esperanza para todos los que entiendan
Que de nada hay dueños que se puede despertar
De nada sirve que te atrape la soledad
que se cierren tus heridas y que sientas lo que tú sientes, lo que es verdad
Los sentimientos que son buenos
No deben marchitar
ay ay ay, bendita suerte
Tus emociones, tus emociones
ay ay ay, cómo se sienten
Tus emociones, tus emociones
Y tienes sed cuando amanece cada día
Y aunque cueste lo que cueste, así es la vida
Tu caminar, tu caminar
No debe marchitar
ay ay ay, bendita suerte
Tus emociones, tus emociones
ay ay ay, cómo se sienten
Tus emociones, tus emociones
ay ay ay, bendita suerte
Tus emociones, tus emociones
ay ay ay, cómo se siente (De nada sirve que te atrape la soledad)
Tus emociones, tus emociones
Los sentimientos que son buenos
No deben marchitar
