Canción De Cuna
Maruca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que se acuesta en un campo de trigo
Tengo aquí, en mi pecho, un corazón
Igualito al hueco de tu ombligo
Sabes quién temblaba cuando ibas a nacer
Sabes que pensé que, por ahí, no ibas a poder
Sabes quién te puso en el pecho de mamá, oh
Debe ser que me pediste, un día, una canción
Vamos a correr un rato, que hay tiempo, nomás
Hay tiempo nomás, todo el tiempo
Nunca nadie me dio tanta luz
Para nadie fui tan importante
Nunca quise ver tan lejos al dolor
Con verte crecer, tengo bastante
Dientes asomando y dibujos en la piel
Todas las mañanas, mi motor, vos, encendés
Mil relojes no marcan las horas, como vos, oh
Debe ser que me pediste, un día, una canción
Que fuera del corazón, ahí te va
Vamos a correr un rato, que hay tiempo, nomás
Hay tiempo nomás, todo el tiempo
Vamos a besar la nieve y vamos a volar
Vamos a besar este cielo
Nada, nada, nunca, nada nos va a separar
Somos una llama en el invierno
Ne-na-niru-niru-na
Niru-na-na-nara-nep
Debe-rebe-debe-rep
Debe-rebe-rap-ne-na-ne-na
Ah-ah-na
Le pedí al Señor
Que me diera un amor
Nunca pensé sería tan profundo
Le pedí al Señor (Le pedí al Señor)
Que me diera un amor (Que me diera un amor)
Nunca pensé sería tan profundo
Le pedí al Señor (Le pedí al Señor)
Que me diera un amor (Que me diera un amor)
Nunca pensé sería tan profundo
Le pedí al Señor (Le pedí al Señor)
Que me diera un amor (Que me diera un amor)
Nunca pensé sería tan profundo, oh, oh, oh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
