Voy a volar en la vida
a favor del viento
voy a encontrar la salida
o si no la invento
Y despues ire por ti
se agota el tiempo
y quiero hacerte muy feliz
ya solo dame un si
[chorus]
Pideme el sol, y te lo traigo ya
ven pide mas y lo tendras,
lo que fue, lo que es,
lo que esta por pasar,
lo que bajo hoy luego ira a subir,
para volver a bajar
[repeat chorus]
[verse 2]
Voy a vivir los segundos,
como si fueran horas,
y navegar por el mundo,
como sobre olas,
Y despues ire por ti,
se agota el tiempo,
y quiero hacerte muy feliz,
ya solo dame un si
[chorus x2]
Pideme el sol
pideme el sol
el sol
Pideme el sol, y te lo traigo ya
pideme el sol
y te lo traigo ya
y te lo traigo ya
