Volvamos A Empezar
Paulina Rubio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que te estoy esperando
Que venga de tu boca
Y no de por ahí
Siempre has sido sincero
Por eso te pregunto
Cántamela derecho
Yo se que en este tiempo te dejaste deslumbrar
Por algo que no era más que una novedad
Pero tarde o temprano
Se acabará su brillo y te arrepentirás
Tú y yo somos amigos, cómplices y amantes
Bien sabes que lo nuestro va mucho mas allá
Hoy estamos a tiempo
Sabes que no es muy tarde, volvamos a empezar
Lo nuestro no es de ahora
Sino que tiene historia
lo que formamos juntos
No debe terminar
Siempre he sido sincera
Por eso te aseguro
Que si tu estás conmigo
Volvemos a empezar
Yo se que en este tiempo te dejaste deslumbrar
Por algo que no era más que una novedad
Pero tarde o temprano
Se acabará su brillo y te arrepentirás
Tú y yo somos amigos, cómplices y amantes
Bien sabes que lo nuestro va mucho mas allá
Hoy estamos a tiempo
Sabes que no es muy tarde, volvamos a empezar
