Esta mujer
Alejandro Filio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Esta mujer
Despertó y su mirada guardó
Cada instante de luz, cada sol
Cada intento de amar lo feliz

Esta mujer
Cuando abraza se pierde y su voz
Me rescata de cada dolor
Me ilumina de azul todo el gris

Esta mujer
No imagina que en cada lugar
De mi cuerpo se queda al llover
Y no puedo decírselo bien
Sólo apenas cantar

Esta mujer
Va tan alto si empieza a volar
Que mi empeño le pide volver
Para amarla otra vez y otra más

Esta mujer
No detiene su paso jamás
Quien la mira no puede olvidar
Que pasó por su lado una vez

Esta mujer
No imagina que en cada lugar
De mi cuerpo se queda al llover




Y no puedo decírselo bien
Sólo apenas cantar
