Lávate la Cara
Rodrigo Solo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

LAVATE LA CARA

Lávate la cara y deja de llorar
Sigues amarrada a manipularme
Tus insultos duelen
Suelen oxidarme por dentro
Lento… Lento…
Que talento tienes…

Quiero tus poderes
Quiero convertirme
En lo que tu eres
Un grano de sal
Que parece dulce… dulce…
Aunque no lo eres
Pero que talento tienes…

Que talento tienes para convencer a Dios
Que el diablo es su amigo
Y yo soy el testigo de todo
Que talento para convencer a lobos
Que perdonen tu vida
Y te traigan comida
Que talento tienes….

(x6)
Lávate la cara y deja de llorar
Sigues amarrándome.

Letra: Rodrigo Gonsalves
