RUBEN BLADES LYRICS - Sebastian Lyrics

En cada barrio hay por lo menos un loco
El del nuestro se llamaba Sebastián
Lavaba carros y hacía de todo un poco
Para ganarse el pan..

Sebastián tenia una novia imaginaria
Y con ella discutía sin cesar
Se ataba al cuello una capa hecha de trapos
y corriendo por las calles lo escuchabamos gritar:

Sebastián si me quieres conquistar
Solo las estrellas bastarán, solo las estrellas bastarán

En cada loco hay por lo menos un sueño
Ser amado era el ideal de Sebastian
Con papel, lata, cartón y mucho empeño
Comenzo su plan

Por amor alucinando implacable fue creando
La mas grande super nave espacial
Para irse con su novia de nuestro barrio de mierda
Hacia el mundo sideral

En cada sueño hay por lo menos un drama
Y entre angustias se enredaba Sebastián
Una noche cuando con el cielo hablaba
Sobre el horizonte vió una luz cruzar
Felíz, gritó: espérame!

Y lo vi correr lanzandose en el mar
Tratando aquel destello recobrar
porque solo las estrellas bastarán
(solo las estrellas bastarán)

(Sebastián!)
(Sebastián!)

Sobre la arena sucia de la playa del mercado
hay una vaina que parece un proyectil
De sus alas cuelga una capa de trapos
De su sombra una soledad sin fin

Su novia imaginaria aún lo espera
En las noches hace guardia frente al mar
Nadie la conquistara
A ninguna otra ilución se entregará

Fiel al loco que le dio la eternidad
Porque solo las estrellas bastarán
(solo las estrellas bastarán)
(solo las estrellas bastarán)

(Sebastián!)
(Sebastián!)

This song resonates in my heart and soul like no other. I can even identify with Sebastian. Which brings to mind...

MICHELLE BRANCH LYRICS - If Only She Knew

MICHELLE BRANCH LYRICS - If Only She Knew

I don't know whose side I'm takin'
But I'm not takin' things too well
I can see inside you're achin'
But is it still too early for me to tell?

I try to help you out through the hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat and I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you

'Cause I still love you like I did before
I know for sure that you still feel the same way I do
If only she knew
Whoa, if only she knew, oh

I try to let it go
but I don't know if I can take it
'Cause the way you looked at me
Made me see that I can't really fake it

I try to help you out through
the hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat and I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you

'Cause I still love you like I did before
I know for sure that you still feel the same way I do
If only she knew
Whoa

I know she loves you and I can't interfere
So I'll just have to sit back and watch my world disappear
Whoa

I try to help you out through
the hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat and I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you
Oh, I'm still not over you

'Cause I still love you like I did before
I know for sure that you still feel the same way I do
Whoa
'Cause I will never ever walk away
I'll find a way
She could never love you like I do
If only she knew

If only she knew, oh yeah
Na na na na na na na na.

This song rings true in my heart, for some reason...
