Parar El Tiempo
Ketama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dar la mano al tiempo y volver atras
Y una mirada solo aquel momento
Poder conseguir las horas parar
Y en aquel lugar donde duerme el sueño
Donde te esperaba en aquel cafe
Me deje llevar comenzo a sugir
De un bello sueño que aun recuerdo
Otravez mi corazon de nuevo le toco perder
Besos que te di con sabor a miel
Donde estan mis sueños
Otravez mi corazon de nuevo le toco perder
Besos que te di con sabor a miel
Donde estan mis sueños
Los labios jugaban en cualquier lugar
Cada rincon guardaba un secreto
Las calles miraban al vernos pasar
Quisiera darle la mano al tiempo
Otravez mi corazon de nuevo le toco perder
Besos que te di con sabor a miel
Donde estan mis sueños (BIS)
Volvere a sentir tus besos
Caigan sobre mi como la lluvia
Sobre un desierto que llevo dentro
Otravez mi corazon de nuevo le toco perder
Besos que te di con sabor a miel
Donde estan mis sueños (BIS)
