Lucero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En el fondo son iguales
Desde un cuarto de hotel
Madre, hoy que vivo sin fronteras
Siempre en una carretera
Sin dejar de correr
Tantos plenos como errores igual
Si fui quien eligio esta vida
Soy quien tiene que vivirla
Hasta el final
Madre, trabajar suele ser duro
Pero creo en el futuro
Nunca voy a parar
Nadie le regala nada a nadie
Tener exito no es facil
Tienes que pelear
En cada paso voy dejando
Un pedazo de mi misma detras
Entre aciertos y fracasos
Ni un momento te he dejado de pensar
Quieras o no cada día soy mayor
Y hoy por hoy las compañías
Aunque no te gusten mira
Me las elijo yo
Quieras o no en las cosas del amor
Ya no soy aquella niña
Que sin ti andaba perdida
Se muy bien donde voy
Gracias, pero no me falta nada
Como bien y sigo flaca
Que mas puedo pedir
Calma, el sermon de la montaña
A las tres de la mañana
No me va convertir
Duermo seis horas al menos
Sigo sin fumar no bebo jamas
Voy alerta si manejo
Y aunque lejos no te dejo de pensar
Quieras o no
Cada dia soy mayor
Madre, aunque sea un poco tarde
Llamo para desearte
Felicidades mamá
