Qué Barbaridad
los lamas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Que barbaridad, que barbaridad
Teniendote tan cerca y no te puedo besar.
Que barbaridad, que barbaridad
Me haz cambiado por otro y lo mismo te da.

Nada más que un minuto quisiera
Tenerte a mi lado corazón, y decirte
Que nada en el mundo me quita la idea

De seguir, soñandote muy juntos mi
Amandote con frenesí, día tras día
Querida mía vivo por ti.

Que barbaridad, que barbaridad
Hoy te eh visto a lo lejos y me puse a llorar
Que barbaridad, que barbaridad
Teniendote tan cerca y no te puedo besar
Nada más que un minuto quisiera
Tenerte a mi lado corazón, y decirte
Que nada en el mundo me quita la idea
De seguir, soñandote muy junto a mi

Amándote con frenesí, día tras día
Querida mía, vivo por ti.
