Un ticket para cualquier lugar
Platero y tú Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Un ticket pa' cualquier lugar
Hay veces en la vida que te puede salvar
¡Quédate la vuelta que aquí ya no hay quien pare!
Acabo de subir a un tren
Y queda mi ilusión llorando en un puto andén
Aboné los vientos, crecieron tempestades...
Y ahora no sirve mirar hacia atrás
Pero la alarma suena sólo al verme pasar
Ahora la polo es mi vecino de atrás
Devuélveme la vida o déjame morir,
Puedes hacer un ser humano de mí.
Te quería para mí
Cada rincón de aquella vieja escuela aprendí
Pifiando en los billares, saltando entre las aulas...
Recuerdo que era un chaval
Recuerdo los momentos en tu sucio portal
De noche acurrucado, huroneando entre tus faldas.
Y ahora no quiero mirar hacia atrás
Tampoco sé cuánto querrás esperar.
Pero la alarma suena sólo al verme pasar...
Es todo cuanto aprendí
En el barrio las cosas funcionaban así
Miro atrás y actúo, si veo que no hay nadie.
Pero las cosas se han vuelto a torcer
Y no soy de los que se dejan coger.
Pero la alarma suena sólo al verme pasar...
