Song lyrics Like Jaime Viñals
What would you to talk to you?
And lose all this fear
What would you give me?
Tonight for your dreams
And know what you are looking for
And find me in your wishes
What would I take by the hand
And give my heart … illuminated
Wanna!
I want to be like Jaime Viñals
And reach the tip of Everest
Wanna!
I want to know that I can go down
A thousand stars and teach you everything I would do for you.
How to call you?
Greet and not hang
How to invite you?
Before they get ahead
I know well that you have looked at me
But you haven’t noticed yet
That would give you to take your hand
And give my heart … illuminated
Choir
But you would make fun of me
If you knew that I was
To look for you today
illuminated
Choir
