Déjame En Paz
Eva Ayllón Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Después,
De entregarte mi vida
Y que todos mis sueños
Quedaron desechos.

Después,
De mostrarte que te amo
Con todas mis fuerzas,

Con llanto y con hechos.

Te vas,
A pesar de mi ruego
Y la inmensa pena
Que sabes, que dejas.

Te vas,
A pesar de mi llanto,
Mi orgullo dolido
Y mi triste queja.

Ya no,
Ya no más amarguras,
Ya no más lamentos,
Se acabó la pena.

Al fin,
Fuiste tú quien me hizo,
Ser dura en momentos
De triste condena.

Me voy,
Pisoteando los sueños
Y las horas felices
Que pasé contigo.

Si vuelvo a encontrarte,
Quizás te recuerde,
Como un viejo amigo.

Para qué seguir,
Para qué luchar,
Basta de mentir
Déjame marchar.
Yo te supe amar,
Tú sigue con tu error,

Se acabó el amor
Y ya déjame en paz.
