Cumbia Sobre El Mar Lyrics
Quantic
Lyrics
Las parejas de estrellas,
con espera llevaban Carrusel de colores,
parecían la cumbiamba Y de pronto surgió,
una reina esperada Era Marta, la reina,
que mi mente soñabaA sus pies vi la luna,
las estrellas plasta-aguasY un himno de fiesta,
las palmeras cantabanUna vez me quedé,
ahí dormido en la playa
Y allí yo soñé,
que del cielo bajaba
Un enjambre de estrellas,
y la luna plateada
Y las olas del mar,
con su luz salpicaba
