Uno
Alberto Podesta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El camino que sus sueños prometieron a sus ansias
Sabe que la lucha es cruel y es mucha
Pero lucha y la fe que lo empecina
Uno va arrastrándose entre espinas
Y en su afán de dar su amor
Sufre y se destroza hasta entender
Que Uno se ha quedado sin corazón
Por un beso que no llega
O un amor que lo engaño
Vacío, ya de amar y de llorar tanta traición
Si yo tuviera el corazón, el corazón de Ti
Si yo pudiera como ayer, amar sin presentir
Es posible que a tus ojos que me gritan
Su cariño los cerrara con mis besos
Sin pensar que eran como esos
Otros ojos los perversos
Los que hundieron mi vivir
Si yo tuviera el corazón, el mismo que perdí
Si olvidara a la que ayer
Lo destrozo y pudiera amarte
Me abrazaría a tu ilusión
Para llorar tu amor
♬♬♬
Es posible que a tus ojos que me gritan
Su cariño los cerrara con mis besos
Sin pensar que eran como esos
Otros ojos los perversos
Los que hundieron mi vivir
Si yo tuviera el corazón, el mismo que perdí
Si olvidara a la que ayer
Lo destrozo y pudiera amarte
Me abrazaría a tu ilusión
Para llorar tu amor
