Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Valiente y luchadora
De humilde cuna, aii luna luna luna luuuunaaa
Que tortura vive de la calle desafiando a la locura
Con la piel marcada y con el alma ya sin cura
Se enfrenta a la vida sin la menor dudaaa!!
ESTRIBILLO:
Si te crees que debes levantar la vida esta pa' vivirla aunque
De mañana va sin maquillaje, de fingir
No tiene ganas luego por la noche como siempre
Se disfraza y sigue su lucha estas cosas pasan
ESTRIBILLO:
Si te crees que debes levantar la vida esta pa’ vivirla
Aunque sufras no piernas las ganas de amar
Que la vida hay que sentirla x2
Y ahora olvida los problemas
Que ya basta de llorar y sacúdete las penas
Que ahora toca disfrutar
ESTRIBILLO:
Si te crees que debes levantar la vida esta pa' vivirla
Aunque sufras no pierdas las ganas de amar
Que la vida hay que sentirla x2
