Explicame
Carlos y Alejandra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que más regalo que tenerte aquí,
Estar sin ti es un invierno sin abrigo
Y ya llegó diciembre y no te tengo aquí.
Y tú tan hermosa, quiero que seas mi esposa
Para enseñarte como amar,
Hacerte caricias que no te han hecho en la vida
Y verás que disfrutarás.
Pero nose lo que pasó
Ella de mi se desilusiono,
No le pido al corazón, no,
Solo quiero una explicación.
Para poder dormir tranquilo, en mi cama ya
Y terminar este capitulo de tragedias (tragedias)
(Alejandra)
Nunca me valoraste
Quien sabe si tenías amantes
Solo sé que abusaste de mi,
Yo aquí en la cocina
Tú tal vez con la vecina
No seas tonto, no preguntes por qué.
Y ahora yo también duermo tranquila en mi cama ya,
Sin preocuparme por insectos como tú, que va
Yo si sé lo que pasó
Como hombre corto el quedó
No te hagas la ilusión
Este amor ya para ti murió.
(Carlos)
Como puedes decir semejantes cosas
(Alejandra)
Acaso no te das cuenta que la verdad si duele
Es Carlos y Alejandra
(Alejandra)
¿Que pasó esta navidad?
(Carlos)
La pasé con mi amistad
(Alejandra)
¿Y en el día de cumpleaños?
(Carlos)
Con mis padres que lo extraño
Cuiden su amor, no pidan perdón para no cambiar
Se arrepentirán cuando no lo amarán, ya verán llorarán
