Devendra Banhart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pensando en ti
Caminando, mi cesta
llena de moras
Son para ti
Temprano por la tarde
y por la noche
Sueño de ti
Lalalala
Comiendo pera
En santa maria de la feira
Que placer ir
La gente buena
Solo goza nunca hay pena
Pa' que sufrir
Jugando en el mar,
en la arena
Viviendo asi
Lalalala
Ventana blanca
Hay que venga la mañana
Hay que venga otra vez
Esperando
Asi es como yo paso mi tiempo
Esperando a Inaniel
Y rezando por su
calor, por su aliento
Sobre mi piel
Te digo todo aqui va bien
Conmigo de no dormir
Amigo, te suplico, te lo pido
Que me ayudes a mi, a mi
Buscando
Con mi ancla en la marea
Nadando en ti
Yo voy andando
Oyeme, te estoy llamando
Te amo a ti
Por el valle me
encontré un rio
escondido
Me ahoge ahi
Me recuerdo, hací a
calor pero tenia
frio
Me iba a morir
Bianca
Ay Paloma, ay Angelina
Por fin te vi
Por fin te vi
Por fin te vi
