Diego Verdaguer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo te llamo mi nena
Por que tu eres mi nena
Mi rayito de sol
Nena
Mi pequeсa condena
Mi sonrisa y mi pena
No estoy seguro
Si te he dicho mi amor
Que formas parte
De este hombre que soy
Te llevo en mн adonde
Quiera que voy
Nena
Yo te quiero mi nena
Yo te adoro Jimena
Pedacito de amor
Botoncito de flor
Nena
Yo te llamo mi nena
Porque tu eres mi nena
Un recado de Dios
Nena mi granito de arena
Mi montaсa de arena
Pintame el corazon
Hoy por las dudas te
Declaro mi amor
Aveces callo lo
Que debo gritar
Para que llegue hasta
Tu alma mi voz
Nena
Yo te quiero mi nena
Yo te adoro Jimena
Pedacito de amor
Botoncito de flor

A mi nena (esposa) la conocí en la Navidad de 1977. Nos casamos en Octubre de 1980, y en 1981 dió a luz a nuestro primer hijo. Pocos años después trajo al mundo a nuestra nena. Los dos son pedacitos de nuestra alma, pero por la niña hay una debilidad especial. ¡Gracias al cielo por mis dos nenas (sin dejar de adorar a mi hijo)!

Mi papi me dedicó esta canción cuando estaba chiquita. Qué en paz descanse Diego Verdaguer, él ya está descansando. Que mi Padre celestial y mi Señor Jesucristo consuelen a su familia.

Estuvo de moda en el 84 y justo cuando nació mi primera hija. Se la cantaba mucho porque en verdad siempre me pintó el corazón. Luego llegó otra nena hermosa. Gracias Dios.
