Se Quiere, Se Mata

From Pies Descalzos1995

Written by Luis Fernando Ochoa, Shakira

Lyrics

Se Quiere, Se Mata

Braulio tiene ojos grandes y cabellos oscuros Nunca come en exceso y jamás duerme desnudo Siempre viste de gris, pues no tiene remedio La tendencia a buscarse siempre el punto intermedio Dana es niña de bien, eso dicen sus padres Nunca llega a su casa a más de diez ni muy tarde Braulio y Dana se quieren como cualquier pareja Pero un día fueron presa de la naturaleza Y de sus propios instintos No escaparon con suerte Con el fuego por dentro Y las hormonas presentes Por la ley del magneto Se acercaron los cuerpos Pero si a la hora del té nada pasa, uh-oh-oh Solo te irás lejos de casa, uh-oh-oh Por haber traído un habitante más A ingresar a esta podrida ciudad Donde lo que no se quiere se mata Se mata Se mata Se mata Ese día llegaste un poco más de las diez Pero el susto se dio unas semanas después Cuando te confirmaron tus terribles sospechas Un niño nacería y ya sabías la fecha Y antes de que el vecino y la familia supieran Fuiste donde el doctor a acabar con el problema Tu vecino está en casa dándose un buen duchazo Y tú dos metros bajo tierra viendo crecer gusanos Pero si a la hora del té nada pasa, uh-oh-oh Solo te irás lejos de casa, uh-oh-oh Por haber traído un habitante más A ingresar a esta podrida ciudad Donde lo que no se quiere se mata Pero si a la hora del té nada pasa, uh-oh-oh Solo te irás lejos de casa, uh-oh-oh Por haber traído un habitante más A ingresar a esta podrida ciudad Donde lo que no se quiere se mata Se mata Se mata Se mata Se mata
