Los Melodicos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se fue a dormir porque era tarde
Y yo me vine pa el baile
Y yo me vine pa' el baile
Y yo me vine pa' el baile
Cerro la puerta, puso la llave
Y escape por la ventana
Y escapé por la ventana
Estribo
* Una noche de vida hay que vivirla
Una noche de amor hay que gozarla
Una noche de cumbia hay que bailarla
Suave suave suavecito
Suave suave suavecito
Suave suave suavecito
Y se alzan las manos en el aire
Y se arrastran los pies sobre la tierra
Y danzando aceleran la cadera
Suave suave suavecito
Y se alzan las manos en el aire
Y se arrastran los pies sobre la tierra
Y danzando aceleran la cadera
Suave suave suavecito
Suave suave suavecito
Suave suave suavecito
Sigue el ritmo de mi piel
De mi piel morena
Sigue el ritmo de mi piel
De mi piel que quema
Sigue el ritmo de mi piel
De mi piel morena sigue el ritmo
Óyeme lo que te digo
(Se repite * Estribo)
Ay
