Edgardo Donato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La rosa que engalana,
Se vestirá de fiesta
Con su mejor color.
Al viento las campanas
Dirán que ya eres mía,
Y locas las fontanas
Se contarán su amor.
La noche que me quieras
Desde el azul del cielo,
Las estrellas celosas
Nos mirarán pasar.
Y un rayo misterioso
Hará nido en tu pelo,
Luciernagas curiosas que verán
Que eres mi consuelo.
