Duende
Spinetta y los Socios del Desierto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Un duende del agua ronda por allí
Se asoma y se aleja sin saber de ti
El duende del aire no se apartará

Recorre la noche por siempre jamás
No saben enigmas ni miran atrás
Son solo una luz que atravesarás
El duende del tiempo aunque no sabe contar
No espera que llegues para verte entrar
Y el duende de las hojas sabe bailar
Se pinta de luces, se dividirá

Oh, no son tan solo sombras
Oh, no son tan solo sombras
Oh, no son tan solo sombras, nena, oh nena

Un duende del agua ronda por aquí
Se asoma y se aleja sin saber de ti
Y el duende de las hojas sabe bailar
Se pinta de luces, se dividirá
No saben enigmas ni miran atrás
Son solo una luz que atravesarás

Oh, oh oh, no son tan solo sombras
Oh, no son tan solo sombras




Oh, no son tan solo sombras ah, yeah
La la la la
