Pasar De Los Demas
Merche Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoy rompo con este ritmo,
Ya basta no quiero continuar
Estoy harta de hacer lo mismo
De mis complejos, mis penas, mi mal estar

Y aunque soy una mujer, sin miedos
Sin nada que temer, estoy cansada de luchar
y solo quiero aprovechar, que estoy viva

Estribillo:
Voy a conseguir lo que soñé,
y el amor también, vendrá
Voy a separarme del ayer
y el futuro llegará
Solo importa lo que quiero hoy
que mañana Dios dirá
Y hoy quiero bailar, quiero gritar,
quiero pasar de los demás

No quiero hacer caso a ninguna ley
Las normas que sigo las dicto yo
ya nunca pensaré en el que dirán
voy a ser yo misma y se acabó

Y aunque soy una mujer, sin miedos,
sin nada que temer, estoy cansada de luchar
y solo quiero aprovechar, que stoy viva

(Estribillo)
