Pecado Mortal
Celio Gonzalez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pecado mortal Y que nada entre tu y yo es
Permitido, Y entre sombras nos tenemos que adorar.
Quiereme lo mismo que te estoy queriendo yo.
Mirame con fuego en las pupilas de ansiedad.
Tomame que a todo estoy dispuesto por tu amor.
Y sienteme, sienteme como te siento yo.
Buscame con el deseo ardiente de pecar.
Jurame, aunque el mundo me juzquen,
Aunque todos me acusen tu', tu' me perdonaras.

1.956 y a mis 14 años y amando y escuchando este bolerazo. Ella me miró y me hizo señas que lo oyera. Estábamos en una reunión de amigos y nosotros éramos niños.. Pero el pecado se cometió después de cinco años de esta precioso encuentro. Como lo recuerdo y con sentimiento confieso que el amor por esos días es un precioso tesoro y si algo hice fue gozarlo. Lo que sigue ya lo sé.... La vida se está yendo...
