Ximena Sariñana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qué rico tenerte de frente y volverte a mirar
Borrar el pasado pa luego volver a empezar
O hay una vez más
Dale rienda suelta a tu imaginación
Viajemos entre lo real y la ficción
Seamos la película de tu elección
Ay, amor
¿Cómo seguir queriendo lo que se tiene?
¿Cómo seguir queriendo?
Ay (eh eh)
Qué rico tenerte de frente y volverte a tocar (volverte a tocar)
Borrarme tus besos pa que me los vuelvas a dar
O hay una vez más
Pretende que ya no somos nosotros dos
Que sea un amor prohibido, un escándalo
Salgamos por atrás, que no nos pueden ver
La noche nos está esperando, puede ser
¿Cómo seguir queriendo lo que se tiene?
¿Cómo seguir queriendo?
Quiero estar contigo hasta el final (yo quiero estar contigo)
Yo quiero estar contigo hasta el final
Así se siente
El fuego que perdura siempre es más caliente
Nunca me lo dijeron y ahora es evidente
Quiero estar contigo juntos nada más
Ay, ay
Qué rico tenerte de frente y volverte a mirar (volverte a mirar)
Borrar el pasado pa luego volver a empezar
O hay una vez más
Mmm mmm mmm
Yo quiero estar contigo (uh uh)
Quiero estar contigo juntos nada más
Quiero estar contigo (uh uh, nada más)
Quiero estar contigo hasta el final (oh oh)
Yo quiero estar contigo
Quiero estar contigo juntos nada más
