Lyrics
(Rosalia)
Ya yo necesito otro beso
Un de esos que tu me das
Estar lejos de ti es el infierno Estar cerca de ti es mi paz
Y es que amo siempre que llegas
Y odio cuando te vas
Yo me voy contigo a matar
No me dejes sola
¿Pa donde vas?
¿A donde vas? (Rauw)
Ven pa aca (Rosalia)
¿Pa donde vas? (Rauw)
Uuooh Uuooh
Si me bailas me lo das to’
Uuooh Uuooh
Ya tamo solos y se quita to’
Mis sentimientos no caben en esta pluma, como decirte?
Tu eres el exponente infinito la “x” y la “+” te queda pequeña la luna
Y aunque este lejos
Tu eres la persona más cerca de mi
Si mi cel se va a apagar
Solo te aviso a ti
Si antes hubo otra vida de tus aguas bebí, conocerte debi
(Rosalia)
Lo mejor que tengo
Es el amor que me das Huele a tabaco y melón
Y a domingo en la ciudad
Si tu me esperas
El tiempo puedo doblar
El cielo puedo amarrar
Y dartelo entero
(Rauw)
Yo quiero que me des otro beso Uno de eso que tu me das
Estar lejos de ti es el infierno
Estar cerca de ti es mi paz
Y es que amo siempre que llegas
Y odio cuando te vas
Yo me voy contigo a matar No me dejes solo
¿Pa donde vas?
¿A donde vas? (Rosalia)
Fumas como si te fueran a echar por fumar
Bailas como sé que se movería un Dios al
bailar
Y besas como que siempre hubieras sabido besar
Y nadie a ti te tuvo que enseñar
Lo mejor que tengo
Es el amor que me das Huele a tabaco y melón Y a domingo en la ciudad
(Rauw)
Y si tu me esperas
El tiempo puedo doblar, el cielo puedo amarrar y dartelo entero
(Rosalia & Rauw)
Ya yo necesito otro beso Un de eso que tu me das
Estar lejos de ti es el infierno Estar cerca de ti es mi paz
Y es que amo siempre que llegas
Y odio cuando te vas
Yo me voy contigo a matar
No me dejes sola
¿Pa donde vas?
¿A donde vas?
