Viento
A.B. Quintanilla III Lyrics

[Chorus]
Yo al viento le pido le grito
Y al cielo y al suelo les digo
Y al tiempo y al fuego les pido
Y al cielo llorando suplico

Le pregunte a la luna llena
Donde esta esa mujer tan bella
Que conoci la noche aquella
(ya no le he visto, a desaparecido)

Busque detras de las estrellas
Subi y baje miles de enquestas
Mas continentes no me quedan
(y no la encuentro, no se donde se a ido)

Y llegue hasta el final donde el norte es el sur
Donde el cielo se invierte y no queda luz
Y busque en el desierto en el mar mas azul
(y no pude encontrarla, y nadie la visto)

[Chorus]

Me pasaria la vida entera
Buscandola por donde fuera
Me tardaria una primavera
(debo encontrarla, sin ella no es lo mismo)

Yo entregaria lo que fuera
A quien me llevara hasta ella
Porque esta soledad me quema
(porque sin ella nada tiene sentido)

Y busque en el oriente y no la encontre
Donde el sol amence y no la pude ver
Y busque entre la gente y no se lla hacer
(se a escondido, se a perdido, pero no la olvido)

[Chorus]

Esa mujer no es tan facil de encontrar
Ya no la sigas buscando porque nada va a pasa
Ya que si ella te quiere ella sola volvera
El corazon de una mujer nadie puede controlar
Deja solo tu camino que ella aperecera
Si ella esta en tu destino solita ella volvera
Tienes que pensar tambien que tu tienes que parar
Porque si ella te esta buscando no te va poder encontrar

Y llegue hasta el final dodnde el norte es el sur
Donde el cielo se invierte y no queda luz
Y busque en el desierto en el mar mas azul
(y no pude encontrarla y nadie la visto)

[Chorus]
