La Señal
Juanes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dame la señal que necesito ahora
Para calmar ésta pasión que ahoga y quiere salir
La luna llena me recuerda
Que vale la pena luchar por ti
Que vale la pena, que vale
La voz del amor habla en mi corazón
Hay una señal en esta canción
Dame la fuerza que
Que necesito libertad de las ganas de volar
Una mirada que
Que pare mi felicidad de las ganas de soñar
Es un largo camino, es el amor la señal
Contigo todo es esperanza
Contigo solo quiero vivir
Y vale la pena, que vale
La voz del amor habla en mi corazón
Estoy conectado con Dios y con vos
Hay una señal en esta canción
Dame la fuerza que
Que necesito libertad de las ganas de volar
Una mirada que
Que pare mi felicidad de las ganas de soñar
Es un largo camino, es el amor la señal
Es un largo camino, es el amor la señal
Dame la fuerza que
Que necesito libertad de las ganas de volar
Una mirada que
Que pare mi felicidad de las ganas de soñar
Es un largo camino, es el amor la señal
Dame la fuerza (es el amor la señal)
Dame las ganas (es el amor la señal)
Dame el regalo (es el amor la señal)
De tu mirada (es el amor la señal)
Una sonrisa (es el amor la señal)
Una palabra (es el amor la señal)
Es un largo camino
Es el amor la señal
