Aire
Chala Rasta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Una pava silva sin parar, en una casa vieja
Y una radio que no para de hablar, fotos de otros tiempos.
Y en una silla desvensijada, alguien soñaba que no murio,
Era un viejo y sus ojos de niño, que se inundaban del mar y de Dios,
Y sus manos abrazan el aire, era un viejo, sus ojos y yo.

Era una casa discreta, como de otra vida,
Con huellas de haber querido, con señas de ser querida,
Y en una cuna despatarrada, dormia un niño sin comprender
No sabia de pobreza ni de hambre, riqueza es madre y comida tambien
Y sus sueños endulzan el aire, era un niño, los sueños y yo.

En otra historia como esta, de amor y misterio,
A veces de carcajada, a veces tan cementerio,
Y una guitarra que acompañaba, y alguien cantaba por no morir.
Era un hombre y su sangre con alas, que no sabia volar sin partir,
Y sus manos acariciando el aire, era un hombre, sus manos y yo.

Era un niño, los sueños y yo,




Era un hombre, mis manos y yo,
Era un viejo tus ojos y yo.
