Lyrics

Ojo por ojo

David Bustamante

Ojo por ojo
Estaba escrito en mi piel
Tu pecado original
Mi corazón se quedó
Desterrado del edén
Por tu fruta prohibida
Fue tu cara media luna
Y tu cuerpo como duna
Se hizo veneno hoy tu castigo
Lo que ahora soy lo aprendí contigo.

Ojo por ojo diente por diente
Quien mata a hierro a hierro muere
Ojo por ojo tenlo presente
Todo en la vida tiene suplente
Ojo por ojo diente por diente
El alma crece cuando te hieren
Ojo por ojo que mala suerte
Como se gana también se pierde.

Noches de sal y de miel
Mezcla de rabia y de placer
Amarte y morir después
Como venderse al diablo
De tus manos vi el infierno
Con tus ojos toqué el cielo
Se hizo veneno hoy tu castigo
Lo que ahora soy lo aprendí contigo.
