Soledad Sola
Alicia Maguiña Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Soledad que acompañas mis horas,
mis noches, mis días, sin desmayo, sin fatiga.
Soledad, tu silencio es palabra
que llega a mi oído desde niña,
perdóname si hoy día me alejo
y te dejo sola soledad.

Soledad, no me llames ingrata,

ingrato el olvido, yo tan solo me despido,
adiós es separarse,
es no mirarse nunca, nunca soledad.

Y va naciendo al grito sincero

mi adiós tan sentido,
yo me ausento, yo no olvido, soledad.
