Margarita
Helmut Lotti Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Margarita, la isla mas hermosa
Dorada de morenas,
Playa blancas.
Margarita, el sol siempre brillando,
Océano y tu llenandose,
De perlas.
Accleras la sangre de mis venas,
Me siento liberado

De cadenas.
Quiero sentir ese calor latino,
Yo creo que quiero fiesta
Y darte el corazon.
Dame tu alma ya Margarita,
Dame ya tu latino sabor;
Mueve tus caderas Margarita,
Bailame hasta que salga el sol.
Margarita, que flor maravillosa
Que adorna a la virgen
Una vez.
Margarita, me ha llegado la hora,
Conozco tus secretos
En mi piel.

De cadenas.
Quiero sentir ese calor latino,
Yo creo que quiero fiesta
Y darte el corazon.
Dame tu alma ya Margarita,
Dame ya tu latino sabor;
Mueve tus caderas Margarita,
Bailame hasta que salga el sol.
Margarita, mi corazon va loco,
Salvaje ritmo lento
Me lo das.
Margarita, tu energia yo toco,
Tu belleza provoco
Mas y mas.
Dame tu alma ya Margarita,
Dame ya tu latino sabor;
Mueve tus caderas Margarita,
Bailame hasta que salga el sol.
Dame tu alma ya Margarita,
Dame ya tu latino sabor;

Pon tus labios en mi Margarita,
Bailame hasta que salga el sol.
