Te Quedas o Te Vas
Paulino Monroy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya estoy pasando por el hielo negro
Quién sabe a dónde yo iré a parar
Porque cuando cae la luz
Aún sigues brillando tú
Y me deslumbra tu lunar

Te quedas o te vas
Te quedas o te vas

Ya estoy pasando por el hielo negro
Y ya no sé cuál será el final
Confundo el norte y el sur
La calma con la inquietud
Y así me pierdo una vez mas

Te quedas o te vas

Quisiera saltar este hielo negro
Para encontrarme contigo
Quisiera poder saber a donde hay que tocar
Para romper, para romper todo este hielo

Te quedas o te vas
Te quedas o te vas

Oh oh oh

Estoy pasando por el hielo negro
Quién sabe a donde yo ire a parar
Me quedo sin respirar
Cuando te veo pasar
El frío me puede quemar

Te quedas o te vas

Quisiera poder saltar sobre este hielo negro
Para encontrarme contigo (Te quedas o te vas)
Quisiera poder saber a donde hay que tocar
Para romper, para romper todo este hielo (Te quedas o te vas)

Quisiera poder saltar sobre este hielo negro
Para encontrarme contigo (Te quedas o te vas)
Quisiera poder saber a donde hay que tocar
Para romper, para romper todo este hielo (Te quedas o te vas)

Te quedas o te vas

Te quedas o te vas
Oh oh oh




Te quedas o te vas
Te quedas o te vas
