Genres: Drama, Romance,Ya s que no puedo ganar
Pero siento que sin ti no hay paz
Cambias tu mirada al verme pasar
Dime Acha qu te puedo dar
Te dar todo lujo y placer
Cubrir de oro toda tu piel
De mis tesoros nada quieres saber
Bien, Acha, dime qu hacer
Te dir lo que debes hacer,
Guarda todos tus tesoros, no ves,
Mas que todo eso vale mi ser,
Mis derechos no se pueden vender oh!
Acha, Acha, resptame
Acha, Acha, amame
Acha, Acha, librame
Acha, Acha qu puedo hacer
Te dir lo que debes hacer,
Abre puertas y empieza a romper
Las cadenas que no me dejan ser
Todo lo que hay bajo esta piel
Acha, Acha, resptame
