El Caballo De Troya
Tierra Santa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuentan que en Troya una vez
Una batalla empezó
Forjando así su leyenda

Y que diez años pasó
Sitiada por la ambición
De poseer la ciudad

Al no poderla invadir
Los griegos fueron marchando
Pero antes de irse de allí
Un gran regalo quedó

Un griego les convenció
Que era el regalo de un dios
Y de que abrietan las puertas

Un gran caballo asomó
En su interior una trampa
Con piel e madera

En Troya todo creyeron
Que habían vencido
Pero la noche llegó
Y el enemigo ganó

Caballo de Troya
Cabalga en la historia
El regalo de un dios
Caballo de Troy
Su piel y su nombre
Leyenda forjó
Caballo de Troya
Están escondidos
Dentro en su interior

Esperan la noche
Para la traición
