Corona Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, yeah
Don't wanna be a star
Don't wanna, no lady
Don't wanna be a star, ooh yeah

I believe we cry too many tears
Because we need love, not just money
I believe we have too many fears
We all need someone to call us honey, yeah

I believe in what you're giving me
'Cause you, you could be a good reason
To survive you'll be my destiny, destiny
My destiny

I don't wanna be a star, oh baby
Don't wanna be a star, sweet baby
I don't wanna be a star, no lady
Don't wanna be a star, my baby

With your love you turn me round and round
Your love is to me a special feeling
All my life was just an up and down
But you, you have changed the whole meaning, yeah, yeah, yeah

I believe in what you're giving me
'Cause you, now you are, you are the reason
To survive you'll be my destiny, destiny
My destiny

I don't wanna be a star, oh baby
Don't wanna be a star, sweet baby
I don't wanna be a star, no lady
Don't wanna be a star, my baby

I don't wanna be a star, oh baby
Don't wanna be a star, sweet baby




I don't wanna be a star, no lady
Don't wanna be a star, my baby

Jhonny Doorway

Me invade cierta sensación de nostalgia melódica. Al escuchar este tema del ayer de hace unos 26 años. Cuanto tiempo ha pasado. Y sigo siendo el mismo. Mantengo intacta la ilusión en el porvenir. Es un enigma de la conciencia que no llego a entender.

Jhonny Doorway

Me trae fantásticos recuerdos de juventud. Esta melodía tan pegadiza. Cuando nos íbamos de marcha los fines de semana en plan ligoteo. Es todo un placer escucharla.

Sinhos Hair

I am very proud of her to be Brazilian and to be very successful in Europe and in the world.
