CORO
Tu Sabes que es verdad, Tu sabes que el amor existe.
Tu sabes que es verdad, el sentimiento original
Tu sabes que es verdad, siii tu lo sabes bien.
Sabes que es verdad, lo sabes lo sabes lo sabes.
me apesta esta ciudad
todo todo es tan típico
excepto tu.
La vida me enseñó a ser natural
y con esto ver el mundo desde un plano espiritual,
ahora sólo busco un amor,verdadero,
mis errores ya los tuve que pagar.
CORO
(...muy bien)
Escapo al río hay marihuana puedo fumar,
si tu vienes conmigo yo resistiré,
a meditar sobre música y pensar en Dios (oh jah)
tu piel morena me da inspiración.
Música reggae que puedes cantar,
música reggae que puedes bailar,
música reggae que te hace pensar.
CORO
(...muy bien)
Sabes que es verdad, lo sabes lo sabes lo sabes (3x)
Siiiii, ohh
Tu lo sabes lo sabes, lo sabes bien...nooih oh
Tu lo sabes bien, sabes que el amor existe.
(Jah, rastafari)
The song Sentimiento Original by Gondwana is a reggae tune that speaks about the truth of love and the desire to escape from the mundane world. The lyrics express the singer's wish to get away from the city and its typical life. The city does not inspire him anymore, and he seeks a partner to join him on his journey of self-exploration. The singer explains that he has learned to appreciate the world from a spiritual perspective, and it's time for him to embark on a new journey to find true love.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of love and how it is a genuine feeling that exists. The singer firmly believes that "Tu sabes que es verdad, el sentimiento original" meaning "you know that the original feeling is true." The song continues, explaining that the singer finds inspiration in the natural world by smoking marijuana by the river and meditating on music and thinking about God.
This song is a great reminder that love is a powerful and authentic emotion that should be appreciated and cherished. The natural world and its calming effects can inspire us and help us find what is essential in life. The reggae music reminds us to dance, sing and think about the goodness that life holds.
