Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hay Amor o no Hay Amor.
ye ye seguro hee ahh guan dj grew
ye ye dubosky two tree lerin
mi yeya yo, locos de amor
en un mundo que intento hacabar este love
y no lo logro porque aqui hay amor
siempre siembra un chimchevo
con doble intencion que yo que yo y que yo
pero es que Dios nos da su bendicion
porque hay amor aqui
aunque 2-3 gente botaron corriente
y quisierom destruir ...hay amorrr ...Aqui
abrazame fuerte que hasta la muerte
vamos a seguir.uhhy
siempre vienen donde ti.
a decirte cosas para confundirte
vienen sonando trompeta y timbres
pero tu no te comes esa impe
tus amigas que no cojen oficio
hablando de vicio, diciendo que yo no cojo juicio
pero yo me le hago el egipcio.y por ti hago el sacrificio
porque hay amor aqui...
aunque 2-3 gente votaron corriente
y quisieron destruir.hay amor aqui.
abrazame fuerte, que hasta la muerte
vamos a seguir uhhy
cuando ya estaba hechada mi suerte
tube la dicha de conocerte
y ahora que puedo tenerte




a la bendicion no se le llama suerte
habeces
