Tesoro
Sergio Dalma Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sin saber el rumbo, sin saber para que,
una idea fija como un mapa en la piel,
quería sentirme navegante pirata,
casi un almirante,
descubridor de nuevas islas de amor,
que busca, que busca.
(estribillo)
Ese tesoro de los siete mares,

ese tesoro del octavo mar,
ese tesoro que es poder amarte,
ese tesoro donde puede estar. (bis)
Hacer realidad un viejo sueño
que tuve cuando era un niño,
poder navegar por tu imaginación,
corsario y acuario.
(estribillo)(bis)
Descubrir la isla donde vive el placer,
no despertar nunca, nunca nada que hacer,
poder asaltar por las mareas
que veas tras de tus instintos,
lograr que me quieras
porque soy distinto, busco, yo busco.
(estribillo)(bis)

Ese tesoro, ese tesoro donde puede estar,
ese tesoro, es el tesoro del octavo mar...
