Melina Lyrics

[00:14.75] Eres fuego de amor
[00:17.33] Luz del sol, volcán y tierra
[00:20.72] Por donde pasas dejas huella
[00:27.84] Mujer, tú naciste para querer
[00:32.70] Has luchado por volver
[00:36.40] A tu tierra y con tu gente
[00:41.21] Has vuelto, Melina
[00:44.92] Alza tus manos hacia Dios
[00:48.03] Que Él escuche tu voz
[00:49.79] Lara-rai-ra, rará
[00:53.88] Has vuelto Melina
[00:57.07] Tus ojos reflejan el dolor
[01:00.35] Y tu alma el amor
[01:02.10] Lara-rai-ra, rará
[01:06.83] La huella de tu canto echó raíces, Melina
[01:14.04] Y vuelven a reír tus ojos grises, Melina
[01:21.26] Lara-rara-rara-rara-rai-ra-ra-rará
[01:28.29] Tu vida y tu razón es tu país
[01:33.18] Donde el mar se hizo gris
[01:36.70] Donde el llanto ahora es canto
[01:41.59] Has vuelto, Melina
[01:45.36] Alza tus manos hacia Dios
[01:48.44] Que Él escuche tu voz
[01:50.39] Lara-rai-ra, rará
[01:54.19] Has vuelto, Melina
[01:57.43] Tus ojos reflejan el dolor
[02:00.80] Y tu alma el amor
[02:02.86] Lara-rai-ra, rará
[02:07.09] La huella de tu canto echó raíces, Melina
[02:14.37] Y vuelven a reír tus ojos grises, Melina
[02:21.69] Lara-rara-rara-rara-rai-ra-ra-rará
[02:28.94] Lara-rara-rara-rara-rai-ra-ra-rará, Melina
[02:36.10] Lara-rara-rara-rara-rai-ra-ra-rará, ¡Melina!
[02:41.29]
