Cuando Tu Cariño
Cabas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuando mi cariño
Llegue hasta tu puerta
Déjalo pasar

Déjale el consuelo
De besar tu boca
Una noche más

Dime que me quieres
Vuélveme a besar
Y al calor de un beso
Tus ojos traviesos
Me verán llorar

Por si en los jardines
De tu pensamiento
Florece un rosal

Y al triste recuerdo
De la noche aquella
Quieres retornar

Cuando mi cariño
Te mande buscar
Yo estaré contigo
Para darte abrigo
Y quererte más

Por si en los jardines
De tu pensamiento
Florece un rosal

Y al triste recuerdo
De la noche aquella
Quieres retornar

Cuando mi cariño
Te mande buscar
Yo estaré contigo
Para ser tu abrigo
Y quererte más (vida-vidaba, di-dudu)
Quererte más (vida-vidaba, di-dudu)
