Mimi Maura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pide un deseo y espera el alba
Deja el barco de tu memoria
Flotar sobre las aguas
Agua del aire
Mientras desapareces en la luz
Mientras desapareces en la luz

Esta noche esperamos que llegue la lluvia

Que moje los campos y limpie la ciudad
Las nubes quieren bajar
Las nubes quieren bajar

Se escuchan noticias de tiempos inciertos
Hoy es invierno, mañana verano
Mientras desapareces en la luz
Mientras desapareces en la luz

Pide un deseo y espera el alba
Abre tu corazón y flota
Sobre las aguas
Agua del aire
Mientras desapareces en la luz
Mientras desapareces en la luz
Mientras desapareces en la luz

Mientras desapareces en la luz
En la luz, en la luz
