El último brindis
Eva Ayllón Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con los momentos más gratos que nos dio la vida,
Deja que ponga el recuerdo de tu primer beso
Y el perfume de las flores que hubo en nuestro encuentro.
Quiero cambiarte mil penas por una sonrisa
Y después nos macharemos sin hacer reproches
Nuestro amor fue como un sueño que se va deprisa
Y al momento de partir
Alza tu copa
Porque te voy a decir
Como la voz rota
Salud mi vida le pido al cielo que te bendiga
Salud por darme más de una vida con solo amarme
Ya puedes irte, pues solamente quiero decirte
Gracias por todo lo que me diste
