PapaNegro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi sonrisa se depara para un día
lleno de vida y calor
existe un ambiente a familia a mi alrededor
Tengo sueño y una brisa que recorre mi espalda
de a poco se apaga
Voy abrigado
y una cinta that I chose a mi lado
Press play
the silent tape noise alarga the wait
My smile twiches as my feet get the pace
And pow the opening sound just hit me right there
Leading my mind from here to nowhere
And there ain't nothing I can do
Just smile close my eyes and doo doo doo
Look up front to see what's ahead
Get into pace and shake my head
Get in flow with the song
With this music there's nothing wrong
Salgo a la calle saltando y no pisando
Los zurcos de la vereda
Cruzo la calle y miro para ambos lados
Por si alguien me atropella
Camino con style llevo en mi cara un smile
que refleja mi interior
Llevo el ritmo sin peso y sin un tropiezo
No podría ser mejor
Llevo el ritmo por dentro y por fuera
La música llena y recorre mis venas
Si el camino es tortuoso ella lo endereza
She can smooth out any aspereza
My smile means more than it shows
My fingers tap away the bore
If this is all the great outdoors
It's my headphones and me there's no more

All he needs is his headphones and the tunes that fill him up inside.
