Lyrics

Afterwards

Anoche cuando dormía Soñé, ¡bendita ilusión! (Dormía)

Que una colmena tenía Dentro de mi corazón

Tú, tú, tú

Y las doradas abejas (abejas) Iban fabricando en él

En el con las amarguras viejas Blanca cera y dulce miel

Papi, I'm your mami Come, let's trade milk And let me heal you

Papi, I'm your mami

Let's trade milk Come, let me heal you

Afterwards

Afterwards

Afterwards

Afterwards

Afterwards Papi, let me heal you Together and afterwards
