Baby
Lena Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Todo el mundo sabe
Como me flechaste
Esa primera vez
Giramos al revés
De una me enganchaste
Quiero quererte plenamente
Tenerte y amarte libremente
Algo que se desteje y luego vuelve
Pero y si te vas
¿Aquí qué pasará?
Tu espacio quedará guardado
Aquí en mi alma (mi alma)
Baby si te vas
¿Aquí qué pasará?
Tu espacio quedará guardado
Aquí en mi alma (mi alma)
Que me ponga en duda eso duele
Ya ni me responda lo' DM
Baby si no sabes lo que quieres
Ponte clara, conmigo no juegues
Y ahora que tu no ta'
Tengo necesidad
De ver tus labios
Junto con los míos
Porque es que con cualquiera
Una cama se llena
Pero mi corazón
Vacío como el cajón
Donde me ponía yo
A guardar to tus recuerdos
¿Qué más puedo pedir?
Tenerte cerca un par de horas
Pa casa llevarte y estemos a solas
No sé que más extrañarás de mi
Sin ti siento que no puedo vivir
Pero y si te vas
¿Aquí qué pasará?
Tu espacio quedará guardado
Aquí en mi alma (mi alma)
Baby si te vas
¿Aquí qué pasará?




Tu espacio quedará guardado
Aquí en mi alma (mi alma)

Line by Line Meaning

I took a choo-choo-choo-choo
I traveled on a train as fast as I could.


Fast as I could take a choo-choo
I travelled as quickly as the train could go.


I came a long, long, long, long way
I traveled a great distance.


To take you in my arms
To hold you in my embrace.


And now it's your first move
It is now your turn to act.


To prove that you've been true
To demonstrate that you have been faithful.


Come to baby, do.
Come to me, please.


You've been a way, way, way, way
You have been away for a long time.


Way beyond the blue horizon
Far away from where we are.


I'm hopin' no, no, no, no
I hope that nobody else is on your mind.


So pucker up, my sweet
Prepare to be kissed, my dear.


And meet your Waterloo
Face your defeat.


Stop! Me from guessin'
Stop making me guess.


Tain't no time to tease
This is not the time for playful teasing.


Stop! All this messing!
Stop messing around and wasting time.


And put your beggin' baby at ease
Make your begging lover comfortable.


I wanna love, love, love you
I want to love you with all my heart.


Just the way I wanna love you
In the exact way that suits me best.


I'm gonna try, try, try to make you try to understand
I will make every effort to make you understand.


When all is said and done, the one for me is you
Out of everyone, you are the one I want.


Come to baby do
Please come to me.
