Les meves ex i tu
Els Amics de les Arts Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deixa'm pensar.
Com t'ho puc dir? Deixa'm pensar. Deixa'm pensar.
Hem de parlar, fem un cafè que hem de parlar.
T'he d'explicar, un estudi americà ha pogut constatar que l'amor només dura un temps.
I pels amants de l'estadística, diu que tota aquesta mística s'acaba evaporant per sempre.
Les meves exs i tu teniu tant en comú, que he pensat fredament amb ressò diferent... Que he pensat fredament, potser us entendrieu bé. A mi totes em provoqueu el mateix.
No ploris pas. No n'hi ha per tant, no ploris pas. Ho faig per tu, que quedi clar, ho faig per tu, sempre per tu.
Ara estaré molt fotut, venen dies dolents, però bé, ja em recuperaré. Tu busca'n un de comprensiu, jo en buscaré una comprensiva i segur que no ens pot anar tan malament.

Les meves exs i tu tu teniu tant en comú, que he pensat fredament amb ressò diferent... Que he pensat fredament, potser us entendrieu bé. A mi totes em provoqueu el mateix.

Tu vius al planeta piruleta (x4)
Les meves exs i tu... potser us entendrieu bé, super bé.
