Boig per Tu
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
estic boig per tu
em passo els dies esperant la nit.
Com et puc estimar si de mi estàs tan lluny;
servil i acabat boig per tu.
Sé molt bé que des d'aquest bar
Jo no puc arribar on ets tu,
reflexada la teva llum, me la beuré
servil i acabat, boig per tu.
Quan no hi siguis al matí,
les llàgrimes es perdran
entre la pluja que caurà avui.
Em quedaré atrapat ebri d'aquesta llum
servil i acabat boig per tu.
Sé molt bé que des d'aquest bar
Jo no puc arribar on ets tu,
però dins la meva copa veig
reflexada la teva llum, me la beuré;
servil i acabat boig per tu.
Sé molt bé que des d'aquest bar
Jo no puc arribar on ets tu,
però dins la meva copa veig
reflexada la teva llum, me la beuré;
servil i acabat boig per tu.
servil i acabat boig per tu.

Tiene ese ángel, que en el idioma que cante logra que se coloque la piel de gallina, me encanta en español, pero en catalán me transporta. Grande mi shaky
