Oh, eh oh, ah,
Solo respiro el aire que me das.
Sol de madrugada,
Luna sobre el mar,
Nace tu mirada en mi,
Empiezo a respirar.

Me alza, me baja why me vuelve a levantar.
Oh, eh, oh, eh.
Oh, eh, oh, ah,
Siempre te llevo cerca del alma.
Oh, eh, oh, eh.
Oh, eh, oh, ah,
Solo respiro el aire que me das.
Siento tu presencia
Como una ilusion
why un deseo de volar
con solo oir tu voz.

Llenos de humo, vacios de ti,
Sienten miedo
Pues necesitan tu amor para vivir.

He vuelto a escuchar este tema porque no sé porque lo echaba de menos… me ha hecho volver 20 años atrás, a mis tiempos de discotecas y copas.
@maneincondicional9139
Seguro que Bustamante tiene muy buenos temas. Esta canción la acabo de escuchar con Alan y me quede fascinada y obsecionada con esa voz.
@josegtorres3094
esa canción con Alan es la original
@pakoelgrande
Con Alan hay cierto misticismo y toque espiritual y Bustamante lo rompe y lo lleva a un nivel más terrenal, dieta, hombre y mujeres sexis y todo lo que significa la fiesta. Me quedo en lo personal con la de Alan, su voz tiene matices que no se escuchan con Bustamante
@gabymiflo
Es mejor las versión original de Alan.
