Echame A Mi La Culpa
Alicia Villarreal Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sabes mejor que nadie
que me fallaste
Que lo que prometiste
se te olvido
Sabes a ciencia cierta
que me engañaste
Aunque nadie te amara
igual que yo

Llena estoy de razones
pa' despreciarte
y sin embargo quiero
que seas feliz

Que haya en otro mundo
en vez de infierno
encuentres gloria
y que una nube de tu memoria
me borre a mi

Dile al que te pregunte
que no te quise
dile que te engañaba
que fui lo peor

Echame a mi la culpa
de lo que pasa
cubrete tu la espalda
con mi dolor

y halla en el otro mundo
en vez de infierno
encuentres gloria

y que una nube de tu memoria
me borre a mi
