Marina
Rocco & The Carnations Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mi sono innamorato di Marina
Una ragazza mora ma carina
Ma lei non vuol saperne del mio amor
Cosa farò per conquistar il suo cuor

Un giorno la incontrai sola, sola
Il cuore mi batteva a mille all'ora
Quando gli dissi che la volevo amare
Mi diede un bacio e l'amor sbocciò

Marina, Marina, Marina
Ti voglio al più presto sposar
Marina, Marina, Marina
Ti voglio al più presto sposar

Oh mia bella mora
No, non mi lasciare
Non mi devi rovinare
Oh no, no, no, no, no

Oh mia bella mora
No, non mi lasciare
Non mi devi rovinare
Oh no, no, no, no, no

Marina, Marina, Marina
Ti voglio al più presto sposar
Marina, Marina, Marina
Ti voglio al più presto sposar

Oh mia bella mora
No, non mi lasciare
Non mi devi rovinare
Oh no, no, no, no, no

Oh mia bella mora
No, non mi lasciare
Non mi devi rovinare
Oh no, no, no, no, no

Oh no, no, no, no, no
Oh no, no, no, no, no




Oh no, no, no, no, no
Oh no, no, no, no, no

Tengo 42 años.
Cuando tenía 9 años fui de viaje desde Chile hacia Argentina y el dueño de casa escuchaba esto todos los días.
Hoy 23 años después quise volver a recordar
