Antologia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuando el amor se termina
El corazón se marchita
Uno no sabe si creer
Tus dudas se hacen realidad
Te encuentras solo al despertar ayayay.

Anoche no pude dormir
En mis sueños estabas tu
Y ese perfume se impregnó
En el silencio del dolor
y no lo pudo sentir másayayay...

aya. palomita cuculíayayay ...
ojitos de capulí

Oigo muchos pasos alla
Creo que viene del interior
Ahora comprendo que perdí
Lo que en la vida más ame
Nunca hay dos lagrimas igual

ayayay... palomita cuculí
ayayay ... ojitos de capulí

Canta conmigo guitarra
Llora conmigo cuculí
Abre tus alas para mí
Y dime por donde andaras
ay mi amor ayayay... palomita cuculí
ayayay ... ojitos de capulí
ayayay... palomita cuculí
ayayay ... ojitos de capulí




ayayay... palomita cuculí
ayayay ... ojitos de capulí
