La Fuerza
Kokoshca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que hace que salga
Una noche más
No lo puedo evitar
Somos como los mosquitos
Que acuden zumbando
A la luz del neón
Que endulzan la noche
Se disuelven después
No los vuelvo a ver
Y danzamos como hienas
En busca de eso
Que tú llamas amor
Hoy no te he vuelto a ver
Hoy no te he vuelto a ver
Hoy no te he vuelto a ver
Y morir como borrachos en cualquier lugar
Y nadie hablará de nosotros más
Y acabar con mis amigos bebiéndome a tragos
Toda mi juventud
Es la fuerza
Es la fuerza
Por qué nos frena la lluvia
Mojados por dentro mojarse por fuera
Qué más da
Y aunque no siempre es divertido
Yo sé, que lo haría otra vez
Y acabar con mis amigos bebiéndome
A tragos toda mi senectud
Y morir como borrachos en cualquier rincón
Y nadie hablará de nosotros más, ¡más!
Y luego me dirás
Que nada más salir
Querías regresar
Esa fuerza te lleva
