Madre
Guillermo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Despues de muchas oportunidades
Vencido decidió abandonar
Vague por muchos pueblos y ciudades
vencido saborea la libertad
Fracaso y éxito se enamoran
Frente al espejo todo es nada
Quieto y no te compares
Harás llorar si no a tu madre

Vivió sintiéndose un gran talento
El mago de la originalidad
De todos los mediocres fue el tormento
Murió sintiéndose una nulidad
Fracaso y éxito se enamoran
Frente al espejo todo es nada

Quieto y no te compares
Harás llorar si no a tu madre
