Benny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu, tu, tu, ru, ru
Me dolió dejarte así
No te quise confundir
No sabía en realidad
Ni que decir
Es mi propia confusión
Es mi pobre corazón incrédulo
Si tú me das el tiempo
Puede suceder
Que seas tu quien pueda
Liberar mi amor
Cancelar el dolor
Un presagio perfecto para los dos
Te podré pactar por la eternidad
Entregarte mi vida completa vale la pena
Te quisiera ver aquí
Acostada junto a mí
Que la espera fuera Corta y saber
Que no ahí sombras del ayer
Que no hay rastro de su ser
Ya pasado lo que fue poder estar en ti
Si tú me das el tiempo
Puede suceder
Que seas tu quien pueda
Liberar mi amor
Cancelar el dolor
Un presagio perfecto para los dos
Te podré pactar por la eternidad
Entregarte mi vida totalmente solo a ti
Liberar mi amor
Borrar mi dolor
En mis alas tranquila podrás volar
Te podré jurar para siempre más
Mas allá de la vida darte toda, toda mi alma
Tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu
Tu, tu, tu, tu, ru, ru
Te alcanzaré
Lo lograre con un poco mas de tiempo ya
Te quiero aquí cerca de mí
Amándote enteramente ye
