A Rodar Mi Vida
Fito Páez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Siempre se hace tarde en la ciudad
Cuando me di cuenta estaba vivo
Vivo para siempre de verdad
Hoy compré revistas en el metro
No pensaba en nada, nada más
Y caí que al fin esto en un juego
Y a rodar, y a rodar
Y a rodar, y a rodar, mi vida
Y a rodar, y a rodar
Y a rodar, y a rodar, mi amor
Yo no sé dónde va
Yo no sé dónde va mi vida
Yo no sé dónde va
Pero tampoco creo que sepas vos
Quiero salir, sí
Quiero vivir
Y quiero dejar
Una suerte de señal
Si un corazón triste pudo ver la luz
Si hice mas liviano el peso de tu cruz
Nada más me importa en esta vida, uh
Chau, hasta mañana
Uh-ju
Eh-eh
Y a rodar, y a rodar
Y a rodar, y a rodar, mi vida
Y a rodar, y a rodar
Y a rodar, y a rodar, mi amor
Yo no sé dónde va (yo no sé)
Yo no sé dónde va mi vida (dónde va mi vida, eh)
Yo no sé dónde va
Pero tampoco creo que sepas vos
Eh
Quiero salir
Sí, quiero vivir
Y quiero dejar
Una suerte de señal
Si un corazón triste pudo ver la luz
Si hice mas liviano el peso de tu cruz
Nadie tiene a nadie yo te tengo aún
Dentro de mi alma
Siento que me amas
Chau, hasta mañana
Eh
(Bye, bye, boys)
(No podemos decir que la estamos pasando mal, de verdad, ¿no?)
Chana, chanana (váyanse todos a dormir)
Chana, chanana
Chana, chanana
Chana, chanana
Chana, chanana
Chana, chanana
Chana, chanana
Chana
Bye, bye, se acabó
