Te Vi
El Tambor De La Tribu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

te vi, fuiste a apagar la luz
no ves, ya extraño tus labios de miel
talvez mañana cuando salga el sol sabre que nunca te tuve

te vi, y te desvaneciste asi
no ves, te extraño y extraño tu miel
quizas mañana cuando salga el sol sabre que nunca te tuve
y es tarde, muy tarde

nos dejo el verano, mis ojos brillaron
yose que no esperare, bebiendo tu miel

no dejes todo en un rincon
es mi delirio el que sostiene aquello inmenso por vos
pues soy preso de tu amor
extrañame un momento
devuelveme mi amor

te vi, y te desvaneciste asi
no ves, te extraño y extraño tu miel
talvez mañana cuando salga el sol sabre que nunca te tuve
y es tarde, muy tarde

nos dejo el verano, mis ojos brillaron
yose que esperare, bebiendo tu miel
