Cruzo a nado el ancho mar
(a nadar, a nadar, bracear)
Voy a nadar sin descansar
Voy a bracear
A cruzar el ancho mar
why en la costa me espera mi vida
Poner el cuerpo en rojo
En rojo
Somos solo un sentimiento
(a nadar)
Como olas que vienen
(a nadar)
why que van
(a nadar)
(a nadar, a nadar, bracear)
Voy a nadar sin descansar
Voy a bracear
A cruzar el ancho mar
why en la costa me espera mi vida.
