Mil Caminos
Enanitos Verdes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tanta ruta por delante
Línea recta bajo el sol
Y este aire del desierto
Que me habla bien de vos

Las canciones traen recuerdos
Unos lindos y otros no
Parecen partes de la vida de otros
Pero en las fotos salgo yo

Ah, idas y vueltas eso soy
Ah, por mil caminos ando yo
Buscándole una razón

El desierto de Arizona
El hipnotismo del motor
El sol ya se esta poniendo
Cuando cruzo por Macaulay road

Ah, idas y vueltas eso soy
Ah, por mil caminos ando yo
Buscándole una razón

Ah, mejor así, mejor me voy




Ah, lo que aprendí contigo
A la ilusión de algo mejor
