De aquí para allá
Chala Madre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ando precisando mil voces.
Ando levantándome bien
en la noches que valen dos noches.
Ando precisándote
un poco de piel
para ver del todo bien...
bien... del todo bien.
Ando despertando,
voy desordenando aquél orden de ayer.
Esquivando esponjas con sed.
Cenicientas después de las 12.
Ando recetándome un poco de fe
para ver del todo bien.
Ando, solamente ando
de aquí para allá.
Ando preguntándome
quién es quién en este lío.
No te quiero convencer
lo que vivo sin testigos.
El placer en donde esté,
otro vino, los amigos.
No preciso estar de pie,
sólo siento que estoy vivo.
Ando, solamente ando
de aquí para allá...
De aquí para allá...
de aquí para allá...
Solamente ando, solamente ando
ando de aquí para allá
(Bis)
