Hay un rayo de luz
Que entró por mi ventana
Y me ha devuelto las ganas
Me quita el dolor
Tu amor es uno de esos
Que te cambian con un beso
Y te pone a volar
Mi pedazo de sol
La niña de mis ojos
Tiene una colección
De corazones rotos
Mi pedazo de sol
La niña de mis ojos
La que baila reguetón
Con tacones rojos
Y me pone a volar
La que me hace llorar
La que me hace sufrir
Pero no paro de amar
Porque me hizo sentir
Que gané la lotería
Antes de ella no sabía que alguien podía amarme así
El día que te conocí, lo sentí, me dejé llevar
Me morí y reviví en el mismo bar
Solo entraba para emborracharme, ey
No esperaba enamorarme de ti
Ni tú de mí, pasó así
Y así empezó nuestra historia, no falla mi memoria
Yo te dije: "baby, ¿qué haces, tú, por aquí?"
Así empezó nuestra historia y te llevé pa Colombia
Mi pedazo de sol
La niña de mis ojos
Tiene una colección
De corazones rotos
Mi pedazo de sol
La niña de mis ojos
La que baila reguetón
Con tacones rojos
Y me pone a volar
La que me hace llorar
La que me hace sufrir
Pero no paro de amar
Porque me hizo sentir
Que gané la lotería
Antes de ella no sabía que alguien podía amarme así, yeah
Cuidadoso entra en tu ventana (yeah, yeah)
Cuidadoso empezó a hablar (yeah)
Mi pedazo de sol
La niña de mis ojos
Tiene una colección
De corazones rotos
Mi pedazo de sol
La niña de mis ojos
La que baila reguetón
Con tacones rojos
Y me pone a volar
La que me hace llorar
La que me hace sufrir
Pero no paro de amar
Porque me hizo sentir
Que gané la lotería
Antes de ella no sabía que alguien podía amarme así
