Contenta
La Ola que quería ser Chau Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

El nunca está en casa
cuando sus amigos lo van a buscar
y siempre le pasa
que nada le pasa

Ella siempre piensa
que no siente nada
pero eso es mentira
porque llora todo el día

Ey! si no estas contento
porque, porque seguís aca?
Ey! si no estas contento
porque, porque seguís alla?

El nunca está en casa
cuando sus amigos lo van a buscar




y siempre le pasa
que nada le pasa...

The refrain "Ey! si no estas contento porque, porque seguís aca?" translates to "Hey! If you're not happy, why are you still here?" It is a call to action for the man and woman to make a change and find happiness.
