Terapia Intensiva
Charly Garcia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nunca Podrás amarme
Vivo sólo en la TV
Nunca podré decirte cómo es
Nunca podrás tocarme
Sólo verme en un papel
No dejes de mirarme
En la pared
Yo nací para ti
Soy de Puerto Rico
Te daré un surubí
Soy un rico tipo siempre
Y vos sos tan virgen para mí
Frotándote las piernas




Llorando en la capilla
Un amor de chicas muertas

Uh, yo tenía ese disco en vinilo. Esta canción una parte tiene la melodía de zoca cola. Con lo cual no tiene nada de malo. Lennon decía que componer es unir esto con aquello. Gran genio García.
