Como ayer
Guillotina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Como ayer
No hubo amanecer
Solo vi
Peleas por poder

Y yo
Quiero saber
Lo que esta bien
Que puede ser
Lo que no es igual

Como en aquel cuento
No había mal
No había lágrimas

Y yo
Quiero saber
Lo que esta bien
Que puede ser
Lo que no es

Como ayer
Hoy no se pone el sol
Arderá
Lo que no debe arder

Y yo
Quiero saber
Lo que esta bien




Que puede ser
Lo que no es
