A Mi Amor Que Se Va
Art Sullivan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A mi amor que se va
Roto igual que un cristal
Hacia un mar sin final
Sin poder esperar

A mi amor que se va
Yo le quisiera contar
Que lo mejor del ayer

Fue nuestra loca niñez

A mi amor que se va
Yo le quisiera decir
Que entre sus brazos yo fui
Inmensamente feliz

A mi amor que se va
Yo le quisiera probar
Que sin ella será
Imposible amar

Sin gritar
Se marchó
Su mirada
Ya se apagó

Su corazón
Sin calor
Se cansó
Y la dejó

A mi amor que se va
Roto igual que un cristal
Hacia un mar sin final
Sin poder esperar

A mi amor que se va
Yo le quisiera decir
Que yo fui muy feliz
Inmensamente feliz

A mi amor que se va
A mi amor que se va

Yo le he querido hablar
Más sólo pude llorar.
