Hansel & Gretel's Bollywood Story
Porter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya sé que suena un poco raro
Pero no quieres ser ahorcado
Veme a los ojos, la quemamos
Vamos, el pueblo está esperando

No seas tonto
Hansel, debes fingir
¿De qué forma te explicaré?
O más bien ¿cuántas veces?
El mundo es cruel, te va a comer
Si tú antes no lo atacas a él

¿De que forma te explicaré?
O más bien ¿cuántas veces?
El mundo es cruel, te va a comer
Si tú antes no lo atacas a él

No seas débil
Hoy te vi titubear

¿De qué forma te explicaré?
O más bien ¿cuántas veces?
El mundo es cruel, te va a comer
Si tú antes no lo atacas a él
¿De qué forma te explicaré?
O más bien ¿cuántas veces?
El mundo es cruel, te va a comer
Si tú antes no lo atacas a él

(Gretel, soñé con él otra vez)





Mira lo que has hecho otra vez
Mira lo que has hecho otra vez
