Antes De Que Nos Olviden Lyrics
Caifanes
Lyrics
Antes de que nos olviden
Haremos historia
No andaremos de rodillas
El alma no tiene la culpa
Antes de que nos olviden
Rasgaremos paredes
Y buscaremos restos
No importa si fue nuestra vida
hooooooooooo hooo hooo
ho hoooo
Antes de que nos olviden
Nos evaporaremos en magueyes
Y subiremos hasta el cielo
Y bajaremos con las lluvias
Antes de que nos olviden
Romperemos jaulas
Y gritaremos la fuga
No hay que condenar el alma
hooooooooooo, hooo, hooo
ho, hoooo
hooooooooooo, hooo, hooo
ho, hoooo
Aunque tú me olvides
Te pondré en un altar de veladoras
Y en cada una pondre tu nombre
Y cuidare de tu alma
Amen
