Personal Jesus
Tiger and Dragon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ese gran momento que cambió mi historia
Iluminandolá, iluminandolá
El niño está siempre a mi lado iluminandolá
Ese por su amor que nace este relato
Ordenó mi vida, renovó contratos
Alejó las sombras, completó mis ratos
El elegido de la vecindad
Entre las señoras de elevada edad
Y sólo por ser él, el del nombre fiel
Hasta la más cruel quiere estar bien con él
Porque su nombre es fiel
Buena dicción y apenas son tres años
Cosechando amigos entre los extraños
Y cada vez son más, cada vez son más
Los que lo saludan y lo reconocen cada vez son más
Una mañana estaba preocupado
Se cortó la luz estando conectado,
Y empezó a pensar cuándo volvera
No voy a poder cargar el celular porque la luz no está
No viene la luz, no viene la luz
Jesús está muy angustiado porque no viene la luz
Estoy todo desconectado porque no viene la luz
