Echame a Mi la Culpa
Flor Silvestre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que lo que prometiste se te olvidó,
Sabes a ciencia cierta que me engañaste,
Aunque nadie te amara igual que yo.
Lleno estoy de razones pa' despreciarte
Y sin embargo quiero que seas feliz,
Que haya en el otro mundo en vez de infierno encuentres gloria y que una nube de tu memoria me borre a mí.
Diles que te engañaba que fui lo peor
Échame a mi la culpa de lo que pasa
Cubrete tu la espalda con mi dolor
Que allá en el otro mundo, que en vez de infierno encuentres gloria y que una nube de tu memoria, me borre a mí.
Échame a mi la culpa, de lo que pasa.
