Puerto Vallarta
Ely Guerra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm standing right in front of the malecón in
Puerto Vallarta
Somebody told me you loved me, so
Come on, get in on, get it on

Happy loneliness I feel standing right here in
Puerto Vallarta
Warm blow below my orange dress, so

Come on, get it on, bring it on

Warm blow below my orange dress so
Come on, get it on, bring it on

The way I see things here it's very nice
It's very open, things are really, really clear
Are very soft, are very hard
Are very calm, are very safe
Are very fine, are very beautiful
I have to run to my hotel
And be ready for me, ready for you, ready for it
And be ready for me, ready for you, ready for it
Oh my babe

If I have to say a word I must confess
I love you back, honey
Lovely your love is so lovely, so
Come on, get it on, bring it on

The way I see things here it's very nice
It's very open, things are really, really clear
Are very soft, are very hard
Are very calm, are very safe
Are very fine, are very beautiful
I have to run to my hotel
And be ready for me, ready for you, ready for it
And be ready for me, ready for you, ready for it
Oh my babe
