Claudio Vallejo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sumido entre sombras
sin pensar siquiera que
existe la vida
pero me ha llegado.
a mi este momento
y a la edad que tengo
me nace un amor
pero me ha llegado.
a mi este momento
y a la edad que tengo
me nace un amor
tiene en su mirada
los rayos del sol
y en su linda linda boca
un lindo candor
tiene en su mirada
tiene en su boquita un soplo de vida
tiene lo que nadie tiene
en esta vida para ser
bonita
17 años cruzan por su vida
y esta en su delirio
yo beso sus labios
candoroza y linda
que dios la bendiga
tiene en su mirada
los rayos del sol
y en su linda linda boca
un lindo candor
tiene en su mirada
tiene en su boquita un soplo de vida
tiene lo que nadie tiene
en esta vida para ser
bonita
17 años cruzan por su vida
y esta en su delirio
yo beso sus labios
candoroza y linda
que dios la bendiga
