Angel Roque Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Espera
Aun la nave del olvido no ha partido
No condenemos al naufragio lo vivido
Por nuestro ayer, por nuestro amor, yo te lo pido

Espera
Aun me quedan en mis manos primaveras
Para colmarte de caricias todas nuevas

Que morirían en mis manos si te fueras

Espera un poco, un poquito mas
Para llevarte mi felicidad
Espera un poco, un poquito mas
Me moriría si te vas

Espera un poco, un poquito mas
Para llevarte mi felicidad
Espera un poco, un poquito mas
Me moriría si te vas

Espera
Aun me quedan alegrías para darte
Tengo mil noches de amor que regalarte
Te doy mi vida a cambio de quedarte

Espera
No entenderá mi mañana si te fueras
Y hasta te admito que tu amor me lo mintieras
Te adoraría aunque tu no me quisieras

Espera un poco, un poquito mas
Para llevarte mi felicidad
Espera un poco, un poquito mas
Me moriría si te vas

Espera un poco, un poquito mas
Para llevarte mi felicidad

Espera un poco, un poquito mas
Me moriría si te vas
