Maldita soledad
David Bustamante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
como granitos de arena y amanecen en montañas,
donde calmo mi deseo, donde guardo mil te quieros,
he pecado en tantas pieles,he parobado tantas suertes,
me he enamorado de la luna,mil veces o ninguna,
he vivido cada sueño como si fuera el primero
entre los nombres y las dudas,tantas caras sin sentimientos por vivir,
me quedo con los besos aqui sentados frente a mi.
QUE ME AHOGA EN EL SILENCIO DE MIS LAGRIMAS,
QUE ME LLENA ESTA NOCHE LE VACIO Q HA DENTRO DE MI,
QUE ME QUEMA HASTA MORIR.
MALDITA SOLEDAD
QUE ME ARRASTRA CON SUS MANOS EN LA OSCURIDAD,
NAVEGANDO EN VELERO SIN RUMBO X ESTA INMENSIDAD
MALDITA SOLEDAD.
Los susurros de mi almohada, los recuerdos q me arañan,
entre risas y caricias, mis pasiones desmedidas,
no me rendire, me calmaré, mi sed con miedo,
camino entre aguaceros,persiguiendo ilusiones para ser feliz,
desojando las flores q un dia llenaron mi jardín.
MALDITA SOLEDAD
QUE ME AHOGA EN EL SILENCIO DE MIS LAGRIMAS,
QUE ME LLENA ESTA NOCHE LE VACIO Q HA DENTRO DE MI,
QUE ME QUEMA HASTA MORIR.
MALDITA SOLEDAD
QUE ME ARRASTRA CON SUS MANOS EN LA OSCURIDAD,
NAVEGANDO EN VELERO SIN RUMBO X ESTA INMENSIDAD
MALDITA SOLEDAD MALDITA.
MALDITA SOLEDAD, MALDITA SOLEDAD
QUE ME AHOGA EN EL SILENCIO DE MIS LAGRIMAS,
QUE ME LLENA ESTA NOCHE LE VACIO Q HA DENTRO DE MI,
QUE ME QUEMA HASTA MORIR.
MALDITA SOLEDAD
QUE ME ARRASTRA CON SUS MANOS EN LA OSCURIDAD,
NAVEGANDO EN VELERO SIN RUMBO X ESTA INMENSIDAD
MALDITA SOLEDAD.

Los secretos de mi cama, se amontonan en el alma, como granitos de arena y amanecen en montañas, donde calmo mi deseo, donde guardo mil te quieros, he pecado en tantas pieles, he parobado tantas suertes, me he enamorado de la luna, mil veces o ninguna, he vivido cada sueño como si fuera el primero entre los nombres y las dudas, tantas caras sin sentimientos por vivir, me quedo con los besos aqui sentados frente a mi.
My bed's secrets pile up in my soul, like grains of sand that form mountains. It's where I calm my desire and keep thousands of 'I love you's. I have sinned in so many skins and tried so many fortunes. I have fallen in love with the Moon a thousand times or maybe none. I have lived each dream as if it were the first, amid doubts and names. So many faces without any emotions to live for, and I choose to stay with the kisses right here, sitting in front of me.

The whispers of my pillow, the memories that scratch me, amid laughter and caresses, and my wild passions. I won't give up, I'll calm myself, but I'm afraid of my thirst. I walk through downpours, chasing illusions to find happiness, plucking the flowers that once filled my garden.
