Caminante Nocturno
Malu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Se cansó de sonrisas ajenas
No dejó tiempo para respirar
Se escapó de un tirón
Dejando su rincón
Dejando soledad donde hubo vida

Se volvió caminante nocturno
Suele estar donde no llega la luz

Ya no se le oye cantar
Su guitarra quedó
Alimentando el sueño de que vuelva un día

Solíamos correr por todo el campo
Y atravesando flores
Me solías llenar con tus manos
De la menta
Solías recorrerme tanto que podía estremecerme
Con solo pensar en ti besándome
Amándome

Volverás cuando el viento y la vida
Ya no se le oye cantar
Su guitarra quedó
Alimentando el sueño de que vuelva un día

Solíamos correr por todo el campo
Y atravesando flores
Me llenabas con tus manos plenamente
Solías recorrerme tanto
Que podía estremecerme
Con solo pensar en ti besándome
Amándome

Volverás cuando el viento y la vida quieran
