Sidi'h'bibi (Live) Lyrics
Mano Negra
Lyrics
Nobody's coming through my way
I'm drowsing in the crown with nothin' to say
Waitin' for a better day
This is another beautiful Sunday
It's alway the same old show
When trouble is comin' by the door
Love jumpo through the window
Here I am alone with nowhere to go
Soledad
(No quero no)
Stinkin' with your heavy perfume
The kind I will never lose
Whistlin' your favorite tune
Called the, "Black widow blues"
Soledad
Stinkin' with your heavy perfume
Whistlin' your favorite tune
"Soledad lo que a mi me va
Soledad a mi me da la vida"
