Mimi Maura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
¿cuando va a salir la luna?
y me pregunto cuando va a llegar
el acertijo es cuando llegara
cuando llegara el fin del mundo
hoy desperté ante un mundo extraño
el cielo era rojo y negra la luna
y me pregunto cuando va a llegar
cuando llegara el fin del mundo
...mientras tanto
la vida pasa frente a ti...
