Lyrics
Princesa que de un sueo se escap
que importa el tiempo
si existe la eternidad
que siempre
est corriendo
y acompaa
a su mam
que tiene las orejas
como yo.
El es soldado
enamorado
de la libertad
en sus palabras
siempre triunfa la razn
y aunque es grande su cuerpo
no cabe su corazn
y sabe
ser amigo de verdad.
Y en las noches
cuando estoy cantando
como un sueo
me voy acercando
y una historia
yo les vuelvo a contar
y un pirata
los mata de risa
en dragones
van a toda prisa
no hay bandido
que se pueda escapar.
Y ahora me cuentan
que a la princesa
solo le gusta
bluyn y chaqueta
que los dragones
no botan fuego
que botan agua
y ahora son bomberos
y que los indios
y los piratas
nunca se fueron
de Santa Marta
y renacuajo
y mam ranita
viven felices
all en su casita.
Ni el tiempo,
ni el destino
lo podran cambiar
que me fascino
con tu manera de ser
si ver como
has crecido
has sido mi felicidad
y an faltan tantas
cosas para ver.
All viene Carlos
hora de comedia
con Luci en piyama
y una sola media
detrs va la Luna
Francisco y Ramona
y Aleja y Elisa
y tambin la Ractona
y Anglica y Manri
Juan David y Andrea
que bailan la cumbia
pa que yo los vea.
Y ahora me cuentan?
Lyrics translation
Princess who from a dream escaped
that matters time
If Eternity exists
that always
is running
and accompany
to your mam
who has ears
like me.
He's a soldier.
in love
of freedom
in his words
always wins the razn
and though his body is big
it doesn't fit your heart
and you know
be real friends.
And in the nights
when I'm singing
like a dream
I'm getting closer
and a story
I'll tell you again
and a pirate
it kills them with laughter
in Dragons
they're in a hurry.
there is no Bandit
let him escape.
And now they tell me
than the Princess
he just likes it.
bluyn and jacket
that dragons
they don't throw fire
that throw away water
and now they're firefighters
and that the Indians
and the Pirates
they never left.
of Santa Marta
and tadpole
and Mam ranita
they live happily
all in your little house.
Nor time,
nor fate
they can change it
that fascinates me
with your way of being
if you see how
you've grown
you've been my happiness
and there are so many missing
things to see.
All coming Carlos
Comedy time
with Luci in piyama
and a single half
back to the Moon
Francisco and Ramona
and away and Elisa
and also the Ractone
and Anglica and Manri
Juan David and Andrea
who dance the cumbia
for me to see them.
And now they tell me?
