Pulsar
Gustavo Cerati/ Cafe Tacvba Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

En viaje hacia la redención, la luz no deja de pulsar
Creo en el amor porque nunca estoy satisfecho
Es mi salvaje corazón, que llega justo a tiempo
Llega justo a tiempo.

Allí donde quisiste estar, tan cerca de desesperar
Es que la vida es gas y es tan dulce traspasarla
Tu aliento es mi respiración

Con mi salvaje corazón, los vicios no son del cuerpo
Y llega justo a tiempo
Llega justo a tiempo.

En viaje hacia la redención, la luz no deja de pulsar
Y si la confusión es una predilección humana
Todo puedo perdonar.

Con mi salvaje corazón, los vicios no son del cuerpo

Y llegas justo a tiempo
Ahora estoy seguro.
