Muévete
Ketama Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sinto un botón di a parar
Dando vueltas a ningún lugar
Y algo me dijo que fueras
Hasta el punto del bar
No sé pero como me encontré
Con aquellos ojos devorándome
Y apareces de repente
Y yo te sigo la corriente

Y tú mi invitas al juego
Me dejo llevar
Hace todo deprisa mujer
Sólo tenemos un rato mi amor
Y tipo torre deprisa
Y ahora te tengo en mis manos
Chiquita muévete
Muévete
Chiquita muévete
Oye mi vida se quieres hacemos de lado
Muévete
Chiquita muévete
Tumba la que tumba la que tumba tumba la
Muévete
Chiquita muévete
Y chiquita muévete mamá
Muévete
Chiquita muévete
Muevete chiquita me gusta de lado

Y es hacer donde me llevará
Tu boca me sabes provocar
Todas las noches buscando llegar al final
Beso a beso me hace enlouquecer
Siento como quema tu cuerpo en mi piel
Damelo de mil maneras
Haz conmigo lo que quieras
Y tú me invitas al juego
Me dejo caer
Muévete, muévete
Chiquita muévete
