Ketama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
placer y buena musica
que es lo que te va
nada importa
no hay leyes no hay edad
te pasas toda la semana viviendo al son de la madrugada
ya bostezo la noche esta amaneciendo
y tu quieres mas
te va te va te va la marcha a ti te va
un golpe de agua borra la calle
cuando toda caba estas empezando
cada noche solo quieres volar
buscas una salida con esta musica que te va
vas navengando sobre la calle y esta es tu libertad
te pasas toda la semana viviendo al son de la madrugada
te va te va te va este ritmo te va
ya bostezo la noche esta amaneciendo
y tu quieres mas
te va te va te va la marcha a ti te va
un golpe de agua borra la calle
cuando toda caba estas empezando
sube poco a poco sube
todo cambia si estas arriba
y te envuelve otra sensacion
cae la noche
te pasas las horas viviendo de bar en bar
que tu te pasas las horas viviendo
te va te va te va este ritmo te va
ya bostezo la noche esta amaneciendo
y tu quieres mas
te va te va te va la marcha a ti te va
un golpe de agua borra la calle
cuando toda caba estas empezando
...si este ritmo te va no se que esperas...
te va te va te va este ritmo te va
ya bostezo la noche esta amaneciendo
y tu quieres mas
te va te va te va la marcha a ti te va
un golpe de agua borra la calle
cuando toda caba estas empezando
