Fuego De Amor
Chichi Peralta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Como apago este fuego de amor
Si lo he intentado todo y tú no estás conmigo
Como siempre en una nube con tus pupilas luego
Te vas de mi razón solo me das olvido.

Hay pronto corre corazón
Cuando estoy en tus brazos más yo vivo
Vocal en consonante locura de pasión

Mi amanecer, mi arco iris quédate conmigo.

Dame tu delirio sin tardanza
Viértete en mi ser, siembra esperanza
Que mi lamento el cielo alcanza

Pureza encantada miel de mi almohada
Cuando siento tu presencia mi tristeza acaba
Se agita el corazón como luz en el agua

Cómo apago este fuego de amor?
Si lo he intentado todo y tú no estás conmigo
Como siempre en una nube con tus pupilas luego
Te vas de mi razón
Solo me das olvido

Hay pronto corre corazón
Cuando estoy en tus brazos más yo vivo
Vocal en consonante locura de pasión
Mi amanecer, mi arco iris quédate conmigo

Pasas por mi lado y ya no me miras
Triste sensación que no termina
Siento que este amor nunca camina......

Dame tu delirio sin tardanza
Viértete en mi ser, siembra esperanza
Que mi lamento el cielo alcanza......

Y en primaveras preñadas de amor
En cayenas flotar hasta el sol

Si no hay testigo mucho mejor
Y teñir nuestras almas de eterna pasión
