Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Apenas despierto
Estas en mi pensamiento,
Y rezo una oracion por ti.

Hoy he descubierto
Que todo en el mundo esta perfecto,
Y rezo una oracion por ti.
Te quiero, te quiero
Quisiera que tu estes junto a mi.
Te quiero, te quiero,
Tenerte para poder ser feliz.
Te quiero, te quiero
Saber que me amaras y yo a ti.
Y nunca te vayas de mi.

Te quiero, Te quiero
Te quiero, te quiero
Te quiero, te quiero

En cada momento
Estas en mi pensamiento,
Y rezo una oracion por ti.
Y cuando regreso,
Yo miro al cielo y rezo,
Y rezo una oracion por ti.

Te quiero, te quiero
Quisiera que tu estes junto a mi.
Tequiero, te quiero,
Tenerte para poder ser feliz.
Te quiero, te quiero
Saber que me amaras y yo a ti.
Y nunca te vayas de mi.

Que el cielo te libre
A ti de todo mal
Le pido al cielo
Por nosotros dos
Yo le pido al cielo
Por nosotros dos




Yo le pido al cielo
Por nosotros dos.
