Melancolia Del Ayer
Fonseca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cada minuto y cada luna pienso en eso
Un viento frío que te va enbelleciendo
Dame tu mano, vámonos juntos y volemos hasta el cielo
Muerdo tus labios y me voy entristeciendo
Me tiembla el piso y no creo estar despierto
Melancolía del ayer de cuando quise a una mujer
Y le grite al amanecer
Que el tiempo quiero detener
Y es que querer es descansar
Es acostarse junto al mar
Es una pena entre los dos
Es entender lo que es hablar
Es caminar sin preguntar
Y es que es un beso sin final
Una sonrisa al despertar
Es llorar juntos... sin pensar
Na na na na na
Melancolía del ayer de cuando quise a una mujer
Y le grite al amanecer
Que el tiempo quiero detener
Y es que querer es descansar
Es acostarse junto al mar
Es una pena entre los dos
Es entender lo que es hablar
Es caminar sin preguntar
Y es que es un beso sin final
Una sonrisa al despertar
Es llorar juntos... sin pensar
Melancolía del ayer de cuando quise a una mujer
Y le grite al amanecer
Que el tiempo quiero... detener, detener.
Melancolía del ayer...
