Cartas tiradas
Expulsados Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Una adivina leyó mi suerte
no puedo volver a verte.
Te pido que lo entiendas
te iba a traer problemas.

Ella dijo que era mejor
alejarme antes que sufrás vos.
Si lo hago es por el amor, que nos unió.

Cartas marcaron mi suerte,
no quiero perderte, y lo tengo que hacer.

No pienses que son excusas,
no juegues con esas cosas.
Las cartas tiradas fueron,
las únicas que eligieron.

Ella dijo que era mejor
alejarme antes que sufrás vos.
Si lo hago es por el amor, que nos unió...

Cartas marcaron mi suerte,
no quiero perderte, y lo tengo que hacer...

Es como un sueño que acabó.
Me quisiste a mi yo te quise a vos.
Si alguién pregunta que pasó, decile.

Cartas marcaron mi suerte,
no quiero perderte, y lo tengo que hacer...

Cartas...
