Diamante
Valparadiso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No supe ver
Reflejos enfrentándose
Y ya no queda nada
Miro hacia atrás
Y ya no estás
Nuestro reloj dejo de girar
Será como la primera vez
Será como la primera vez
Pero quiero decirtelo
En una canción de amor
Digiste que ibas a volver
Pero ya empieza a anochecer
Y ya no queda nada
Dispara ya
Que mas me da
Ya fui herido de graverdad
Comienza la batalla
Que cambió nuestra intención
Quien robó tu compasión
Mientra tu sigues callada
Siento dentro esta explosión
Que rebienta en mi interior
Esperando tu llamada
Será como la primera vez
Será como la primera vez
Pero quiero decirtelo
En una canción de amor
Es que la alunación de hacerlo entre los dos
No quieres no pedir perdón
Será...
Será...
Será como la primera vez (No lo se, no lo se, no lo se)
Será como la primera vez (No lo se, no lo se, no lo se)
Tal vez no lo supiste ver
Será como la primera vez
