Speak Low
Deodato* Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y eso es lo que no les comprendo si yo trepo al cielo es por vernos
me haces perder el sueño aun si duermo
es algo extraño pero ya te extraño aun si voy y vuelvo
Amor te heché de menos anoche que pensé como
nos conocemos de un 14 de Febrero
y de entonces que te veo a no ser que esté en el empleo
por suerte siempre entiendes lo de los rapeos
fue lo mejor, me dejó el corazon a mil
perrita mia nuestros besos riman
tu piel debe ser un iman imaginando mi mano encima
no, no soy perfecto pero si sincero
por eso no contengo todo aquello de los celos
mantienes bien mis pies en el suelo
somos tu y yo juntos rumbo al mundo entero
No puedo no pensar, que eres lo que quiero y mas,
El amor de mi vida, eey eeh
No puedo no pensar, que eres lo que quiero y mas,
Una historia de amor sin final.
Oye dime si esto no es amarnos
dime que es cruzar Santiago entero solo para abrazarnos
besarnos ambos darnos algo
mas que sabor para los labios
quedarnos pegados mirandonos los rostros
y saber que piensa el otro
solo nosotros dos mostrandonos tal como somos
con mirar tus ojos lo conozco todo y
No llores mas amor
que me parte el alma
si estas mal, juro que viajaría a los 7 mares por buscar
una manera de darte paz
y es que TE AMO como se ama en las peliculas
puedo decirte sin dudar monita bonita tu eres mi lugar
mi eterna compañera,
desde que Santa Ana dejó de ser una estación cualquiera.
No puedo no pensar, que eres lo que quiero y mas,
El amor de mi vida, eey eeh
No puedo no pensar, que eres lo que quiero y mas,
Una historia de amor sin final.

Deodato always takes me back to the 70's...when my life was the happiest....I can close my eyes and feel the breeze of Lake Michigan on my face...and the smell of Summer ....back home in Chicago!!!
@Dutch2236
I bought this LP back in the 70's for another song but this old standard has become my favorite. Not too many people know about Deodato. Our little secret, right?
@prinavduggal6494
Yes a legend indeed and I’m 14 and I’m surprised why kids my age listen to music like this more :)
@manolodelacruz7186
I was in 1st year high school (1972), it was used as the background music when I was ramp modelling for clothes. Love this music....Deodato is indeed on my list of favorite musicians.
@harryhagan5937
He did a fab arrangement of Don't Ever Go Away on the Sinatra/Jobim LP years ago.
