Vida Loca
Maui Y Los Sirénidos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vida pasas deprisa, tú
no te equivocas.
Sé que nunca me avisas
porque no tienes boca.
Ni yo gafas de mirar
lo que me toca;
por eso a veces chocamos
como el mar contra la roca,
ay, ay, aaa

Yo a ti no te entiendo, vida,
y por lo que me toca
voy a aprender a quererte
para no volverme loca.
Pero me pesan tus pasos,
en la cara se me nota.
Voy a atarme despacito
los cordones de mis botas
ay, ay aaaa
pa' echá a correr tu camino
que en el tiempo se agota...
que tus encantos me provocan.
AY vida loca...
ay, ay, aaa
que me toca.
(Solo)
Ay vida loca




ay, ay, aaa
Que me toca.
