Lyrics La tierra prometida Carlos Vives

 950

La tierra prometida


Visite Madrid, fui a Barcelona y Paris
Y era tan genial el arte en Roma y Florencia
Como no adorar a Budapest y a Berlin
Como no adorar a las mujeres en Suecia

Pero igual
La tierra solo se entrega al mar
Tu mirar
El paisaje al que yo quiero regresar

Por eso siempre le pido a la vida
Que a la tierra prometida me lleve
Que la gente siempre esté bien querida
Y si me lleva muy lejos regrese

Visite Nepal y hasta logre meditar
Y llegué a pensar que Buddha estaba en mi pena
Quise merodear, me fui a Dubai y a Qatar
No puedo negar que es una vida muy buena

Pero igual
La tierra solo se entrega al mar
Tu mirar
El paisaje al que yo quiero regresar

Por eso siempre le pido a la vida
Que a la tierra prometida me lleve
Que la gente siempre esté bien querida
Y si me lleva muy lejos regrese

Me gusta el hip-hop y el reggae y el reggaeton y el palenque
El vallenato, la cumbia, lo que prefiere mi gente
Me gusta el rock Argentino y el sonido de Inglaterra
El soul, el blues, el corrido y los porros de mi tierra

Por eso siempre le pido a la vida
Que a la tierra prometida me lleve
Que la gente siempre esté bien querida
Y si me lleva muy lejos regrese

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
