Libelulas
Mikel Erentxun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y dentro estabas tú y dentro estas tú
Ayer robé un trozo de tiempo
Para pensar en ti
Cada ciudad, cada rincón
Cada hotel, cada habitación
En los camerinos, en los escenarios
El mar es azul, el cielo es azul
En tu mirada, en tu mirada
Y la eternidad en el ecuador
De tu espalda
Bailan libélulas en lagos helados
Bailan las letras del abecedario
Bailan canciones en vientos lejanos
Baila el corazón si estás a mi lado
