Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y que cumplen si te dicen que han de amar
Yo quisiera que los tuyos me quisieran
Y me dieran sus promesas de verdad
Cada día que va pasando estoy sufriendo
Y si pienso en olvidarte, sufro más
Tengo el alma adolorida, ya no puedo sufrir más
Tú bien sabes que te quiero, mi prietita
No me nieges tu cariño y tu mirar
En mi pecho guardo siempre ese cariño
Que dejarte de querer es por de más
Cada día que va pasando estoy sufriendo
Y si pienso en olvidarte, sufro más
Tengo el alma adolorida, ya no puedo sufrir más
