Amor Eterno
Banda La Costeña Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tu eres la tristeza de mis ojos
Que lloran en silencio por tu amor
Me miro en el espejo y veo en mi rostro
El tiempo que he sufrido por tu adios

Obligo a que te olvide el pensamiento
Pues siempre estoy pensando en el ayer
Prefiero estar dormida que despierta

De tanto que me duele que no estes

Como quisiera ahhh que tu vivieras
Que tus ojitos jamas se hubieran
Cerrado nunca y estar mirandolos

Amor eterno e inolvidable
Tarde o temprano estare contigo
Para seguir amandonos

Yo he sufrido tanto por tu ausencia
Que desde ese dia hasta hoy no soy feliz
Y aunque tengo tranquila mi conciencia
Se que pude haber yo hecho mas por ti

Oscura soledad estoy viviendo
La misma soledad de tu sepulcro
Tu eres el amor del cual yo tengo
El mas triste recuerdo de Acapulco

Como quisiera ahhh que tu vivieras
Que tus ojitos jamas se hubieran
Cerrado nunca y estar mirandolos
Amor eterno e inolvidable
Tarde o temprano estare contigo
Para seguir amandonos

Amor eterno (amore eterno) eterno...
