Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Háblame, no me hagas esperarte más
Dime si, te he perdido o tal vez no
He creído en él siempre le escuché un error que pago caro
He creído que no fuiste
En mis manos, en mi cabeza, en mis músculos
Emociones latiendo intensas en mí por ti
Háblame, por favor no me destruyas más como contigo hice yo
Oh, no no y dime si se ha acabado o tal vez no o tal vez no
En tu sufrimiento un soplo de viento, que te grita amor inmenso
Necesito que vuelvas a mí
En mis manos, en mi cabeza, en mis músculos
Emociones latiendo intensas son así
Confío en que tú, que un día también tú las reencontrarás
Las reencontrarás, en mí
Y es así, el destino tal vez me lleve a ti
Háblame, te he perdido o tal vez no
Dime si, te he perdido o tal vez no
He creído en él siempre le escuché un error que pago caro
He creído que no fuiste
En mis manos, en mi cabeza, en mis músculos
Emociones latiendo intensas en mí por ti
Oh, no no y dime si se ha acabado o tal vez no o tal vez no
En tu sufrimiento un soplo de viento, que te grita amor inmenso
Necesito que vuelvas a mí
En mis manos, en mi cabeza, en mis músculos
Emociones latiendo intensas son así
Confío en que tú, que un día también tú las reencontrarás
Las reencontrarás, en mí
Y es así, el destino tal vez me lleve a ti
Háblame, te he perdido o tal vez no
