Polen
Enrique Bunbury Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Polen, reverberación
Polen, fascinación
Polen, estado neutro
Polen, que acudes al centro
Polen, prolonga mi vida
Polen, para toda la vida
Polen, huidiza pendiente
Polen, el abismo de siempre

Y estos ojos quebrados de vidrio
Danzando como un tío vivo
Edredón de nubes trenzado en algodón
Enciende las luces, llévanos

Polen
Polen




Polen
Polen
