Nostalgias
Claudio Basso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quiero emborrachar mi corazón
para apagar un loco amor
que más que amor es un sufrir
Y aquí vengo para eso
a borrar antiguos besos
en los besos de otras bocas
si su amor fue flor de un día
esa cruel preocupación
quiero por los dos mi copa alzar
para olvidar mi obstinación
y más la vuelvo a recordar
Nostalgia de escuchar su risa loca
y sentir junto a mi boca
como un fuego su respiración
angustia de sentirme abandonado
y pensar que otro a su lado
pronto pronto le hablará de amor
hermano, yo no quiero renajarme
ni pedirle ni rogarle, ni decirle que no puedo más vivir
desde mi triste soledad veré caer las rosas muertas
de mi juventud
Gime bandoneón, tu tango gris
quizá a tí te hiera igual
algún amor sentimental
llora mi alma de fantoche
sola y triste en esta noche
noche negra y sin estrellas
si las copas traen consuelo
aquí estoy con mi desvelo
para ahogarlas de una vez
quiero por los dos mi copa alzar
para después poder brindar
por los fracasos del amor
Nostalgia de escuchar tu risa loca
y sentir junto a mi boca
como un fuego su respiración
Angustia de sentirme abandonado
y pensar que otro a su lado
pronto pronto le hablará de amor
hermano, yo no quiero renajarme
ni pedirle ni rogarle, ni decirle que no puedo más vivir
desde mi triste soledad veré caer las rosas muertas
de mi juventud.
