En Bien Y En Mal
Benny Ibarra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
lo seguro es que vas junto a mí,
inquebrantable tu cariño
es vacía mi vida sin tí
eres mi fé, eres mi paz
Eres lo único constante,
indudable tu complicidad,
mi refugio de serenidad,
mi inspiración, tu olor, tu voz
En tantas ocasiones por inmadurez
hice cosas que quisiera hoy cambiar
a pesar de todo lo que sucedió,
lo tengo todo hoy, aquí, y ahora
Que suerte tenerte,
en cuerpo y mente, estoy contigo
para siempre, para siempre
en bien y en mal, oh!
Juro por mi vida que merecerte
el que puedas perdonar mi insensatez
por tu convicción y por creer en mí
lo tengo todo hoy aquí, y ahora
Que suerte tenerte, compartir tu verdad
en cuerpo y en mente,
soy tu otra mitad, estoy contigo
para siempre, para siempre,
en bien y en mal.
