Ely Guerra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

En el cielo se puede ver
Mi sonrisa va a nacer
Yo no soy la de ayer, I love you
Sobresalta que en mi interior
Me tomo por sorpresa y yo
Ya no soy la de ayer, I love you

Corazones pintaba yo

En la espera de nuevo amor
Yo arriba por favor
Mi amor déjalo
En la espera de un nuevo amor
Corazones pintaba yo
Luz prendida por favor
Mi amor déjalo

Te quiero solo a ti
Yo te miro y siento mi latir
Ya pude corazón
Yo te veo y te deseo aquí
En mi interior

Corazones pintaba yo
En la espera de un nuevo amor
No mi vida por favor
No mi amor déjalo
En la espera de un nuevo amor
Corazones pintaba yo
Necesitas mi calor

Mi amor
Mi perdón
Mi evolución
Mi dolor
Mi pasión
Mi confusión
Mi ebullición
Mi devoción
Mi perdición
