Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
te viene a despertar,
te quiere saludar;
con dulces notas
que canta para ti.
Asómate a tu balcón
y un beso te mandaré;
que a ese yo no lo invité.
Tus ojos, niña,
los quiero ver brillar,
me quiero reflejar;
la noche es clara,
con ellos mucho más.
Esta noche canto yo
porque así lo prometí;
corre a todos, por favor,
sólo yo me quedo aquí.
Esta noche canto yo
porque así lo prometí;
corre a todos, por favor,
sólo yo me quedo aquí.
