Me Busca el Destino
Mimi Maura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aunque no quieras ver
no implica que no exista
miras y te reís
sin saber con certeza
seguro la verdad
nos llevara nos llevara a la tumba
y desde el mas allá
reírme de la vida

cada momento que paso
lo llevo bien
guardado en mi
si es tiempo de mudar
de nuevo mi ropaje
sera que asi sera
otro viaje comienza
arriba y bien alto
me busca el destino
volando ensueño y soñando camino
cuando no puedo mas
y ya me cuesta continuar
tengo que volver, volver a empezar
arriba y bien alto
me busca el destino
volando ensueño y soñando camino
difícil se hace mas
cuando uno olvida el corazón
de saber perder y poder ganar
solo...
arriba y bien alto
se cruza conmigo
volando ensueño soñando un destino
difícil se hace más

cuando uno olvida el corazón
de saber perder y poder ganar.
