Azúcar Moreno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
un día de estos lo se estoy segura volveran.
Mil velas alumbraran y mil más se esfumaran
esperaré aqui sentada,siempre en el mismo lugar.
Se lleva el viento,mis pensamientos y te deseo
más de lo q creo no se vivir si tu no estas.
ESTRIBILLO
Mil velas suspiraré viendo la cera caer
rogando en cada suspiro q tu quieras volver.
Mil velas te prenderé,mil velas se quemaran
tu eres caso perdido, tu amor voy a ganar.
Mil velas q brillarán,mil llamas q me veran
pedir,rezar por tus besos y por tu forma de amar.
Mil velas alumbrarán y mil más se esfumaran
esperaré aqui sentada siempre en el mismo lugar.
Se lleva el viento,mis pensamientos y te deseo
más de lo q creo yo no se vivir si tu no estas.
