Mía, porque siempre te tuve en mis brazos
Porque nunca te hable de fracasos lo que hice fue
Darte amor

Mía, aunque quieras negar lo eres mía aunque tenga
Mis manos vacías, procurando sentir tu calor

Mía, aunque estés con el durmiendo sabes que eres

Mía, mía, porque le mostré a tu piel lo bella que
Es la vida, y tú sabes bien que es así

Mía, porque yo te enseñe la poesíaque le
Enseña la noche al día
Entre sabanas llenas de amor

Mía, aunque vueles muy alto eres mía
Aunque el tenga tu compañía
Yo soy quien tiene tu corazón

Mía, aun que estés con el durmiendo sabes que
Eres mía, mía, porque le mostré a tu piel lo bella
Que es la vida, y tú sabes bien que es así

Mía, aunque estés con el durmiendo sabes que eres
Mía, mía, porque le mostré a tu piel lo bella que
Es la vida

Mía, porque le mostré a tu piel lo bella que es
La vida, y aunque estés con el durmiendo en el
Fondo sabes que eres mía

Mía, porque le mostré a tu piel lo bella que es
La vida, nuestros momentos entre sabanas llenas de
Amor no serán fáciles de olvidar

Mía, porque le mostré a tu piel lo bella que es
La vida no, no trates de engañarte no, el
No podrá hacerte sentir como yo

Así, mía

Mía, porque le mostré a tu piel lo bella que es
La vida mami, y tú sabes bien que esto es así
Porque le monstré a tu piel lo que es vivir

Mía, porque le mostré a tu piel lo bella que es
La vida, yo se que el hace ahora lo que yo te
Enseñe y que no has olvidado

Mía, porque le mostré a tu piel lo bella que es la vida

(Mía, mía, mía) mis huellas siguen marcadas en ti
Por eso (mía, mía, mía) estoy presente en tu pensamiento
Cuanto darías porque el fuera yo

(Mía, mía, mía) estas deseando lo sé, ven escápate
(Mía, mía, mía) solo una noche nada mas, después te vas
