Borron y Cuenta Nueva
Adriana Lucia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El fin de tu enojo era yo, era yo
Tu fruta prohibida era yo, era yo
Tu flor preferida era yo, era yo
Contar las estrellas era yo, era yo
Tu mejor poema era yo, era yo
La voz de tu aliento era yo, era yo
Y fuimos solo complices del viento
Te procuraba amor cada momento
Y desafiabamos juntos la tempestad
Una sonrisa, un guiño, una mirada
Una palabra en clave desifrada
Y nuestro amor eterno para soñar
Y hoy me dices adios como si nada
Como si aquella tarde no importara
Como se va muriendo una ilusion
Y hoy me dices borron y cuenta nueva
Como si el tiempo fuera una chequera
Como si no valiera una ilusion
La luz de tus ojos era yo, era yo
El fin de tu enojo era yo, era yo
Tu fruta prohibida era yo, era yo
Tu flor preferida era yo, era yo
Y fuimos solo complices del viento
Te procuraba amor cada momento
Y desafiabamos juntos la tempestad
Una sonrisa, un guiño, una mirada
Una palabra en clave desifrada
Y nuestro amor eterno para soñar
Y hoy me dices adios como si nada
Como si aquella tarde no importara
Como se va muriendo una ilusion
Y hoy me dices borron y cuenta nueva
Como si el tiempo fuera una chequera
Como si no valiera el corazon
Y hoy me dices adios como si nada
Como si aquella tarde no importara
Como se va muriendo una ilusion
Y hoy me dices borron y cuenta nueva
Como si el tiempo fuera una chequera
Como si no valiera el corazon
Y hoy me dices adios como si nada
Como si aquella tarde no importara
Como se va muriendo una ilusion
Y hoy me dices borron y cuenta nueva
Como si el mundo fuera una chequera
Como si no valiera el corazon
