Raúl Ornelas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De la mano de aquél
Que se marchó sin hablar a buscar esa paz que más tarde encontré
Tuve una madre que
Lloró en la oscuridad
Por enseñarme que atarse des manos y pies también es libertad
Tuve una guitarra que robaron y un altar
Tuve una libreta con mil cosas qué contar
Tuve una vez la ilusión de volar y cuando pude hacerlo llore
Tuve un primo de diez
Un disco de Hombres G
Y una familia en el mar que te puede contar dónde esta mi niñez
Tuve un hermano que
Un día quise salvar
Y me lancé sin dudar hasta el fondo del mar y el me salvo después
Tuve una guitarra que robaron y un altar
Tuve un buen amigo que pienso recuperar
Tuve una libreta con mil cosas qué contar
Tuve una vez la ilusión de volar y cuando pude hacerlo llore
Tuve a los dieciséis
Una pandilla que
Entre cerveza y billar me escuchaba cantar y asi es como empecé
Tuve una vez la ilusión de volar y si lloro ya saben porque.

Tuve la dicha de ver por primera vez a Oceransky hace poco, en un concierto gratuito que ofreció y al escuchar esta canción, no pude evitar el llorar. Es una canción hermosa, sin duda.
