El andariego
Carlos Cuevas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo que fui del amor "ave de paso"
Yo que fui mariposa de mil flores
Hoy siento la nostalgia de tus brazos
De aquellos tus ojazos
De aquellos tus amores
Ni cadenas ni lagrimas me ataron
Más hoy quiero la calma y el sociego
Perdona mi tardanza, te lo ruego
Perdona al andariego
Que hoy te ofrece el corazón
Hay ausencias que triunfan
Y la nuestra triunfo
Amemonos ahora con la paz
Que en otros tiempos nos falto
Y cuando yo me muera
Ni luz, ni llanto, ni luto
Ni nada mas
Ahí junto a mi cruz
Tan solo quiero paz
Sólo tú corazón
Si recuerdas mi amor
Una lágrima llévame por última vez
En silencio dirás una plegaria
Y por dios
Olvídame después
Hay ausencias que triunfan
Y la nuestra triunfo
Amemonos ahora con la paz
Que en otros tiempos nos falto
Y cuando yo me muera
Ni luz, ni llanto, ni luto
Ni nada máss
Ahí junto a mi cruz
Tan solo quiero paz
Sólo tú corazón
Si recuerdas mi amor
Una lágrima llévame por última vez
En silencio dirás una plegaria
Y por dios
Olvídame después
