El Oficio Humilde
La Gusana Ciega Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Voy a vivir en un oficio humilde y nunca más salir
Voy a vivir en una grieta en la pared de tu interior
Voy a cortar mi lengua y nunca más podre decirte adiós

Para sentirme menos importante
Para olvidar mi vida en un instante

Voy a vivir en un oficio humilde y nunca más salir

Voy a escuchar tu llanto para entender tu magia y tu dolor
Voy a morir solo para decirte como es el más allá

Para sentirme menos importante
Para olvidar mi vida en un instante
