Hoy desperté
Malu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo pude ver y romper el firmamento
Hoy me asomé para ver la gente en la calle
Y no recordé quién es quién, quien es nadie
Hoy desperté junto a aquel vagabundo
No sé por qué pero sé que estaba desnudo
Yo quise ser como el tren que viaja despacio
Y yo sin querer me asusté al verme descalzo
Ven, ven, ven, a mi lado, ven
Verás mejor el mundo
Ven, ven, ven, sin pensarlo bien
Encontrarás tu rumbo
Hoy desperté junto a aquel estanque dorado
No se por qué te dejé al otro lado
Yo quise ser como el tren que viaja despacio
Y yo sin querer me asusté al verme descalzo
Hoy desperté sin saber qué era el tiempo
Yo pude ver y romper el firmamento
Hoy me asomé para ver la gente en la calle
Y no supe ser como el sol que arde, que arde
