Black Stars
Xenia Rubinos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quiero quiero quiero quiero quiero quiero
quiero quiero quiero quiero quiero quiero
Ghetto ghetto ghetto ghetto ghetto ghetto
Quiero tener calor

You're gonna tell him what you wanna
You're a million black stars in that fearless night again
You're gonna tell him what he wants to

He's a million black stars and he's gonna live a million years
Gonna tell him what you wanna
You're a million black stars in that fearless night again
He's gonna tell you what you wanna hear
You're a million black stars in that fearless black night again

I know this one's not too fine,
you'll figure it out
Can you tell me which way to run?

Quiero quiero quiero quiero quiero quiero
Ghetto ghetto ghetto ghetto ghetto ghetto

What you're feelin'
what you're feelin's all over me
Like an evening star on that evening sea
What you're feelin'
what you're feelin's all over
Like a midday sun on that midnight sea when it's…
You're gonna tell him what you wanna
You're a million black stars in that fearless black night again
He's gonna tell you what you wanna hear
You're a million black stars in that fearless black night again

I know this one's not too fine,
you'll figure it out
Can you tell me which way to run?

What you're feelin's all over me
Like a big black star burning holes in the sea
You're a dipset,
make people upset don't you know

I know this one's not too fine
You'll figure it out
Can you tell which way to run? which way to run

Busca, busca
Busca aguilas que te lleven lejos de mi
