Yolanda
Grupo de Experimentación Sonora del ICAIC Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Esto no puede ser no mas que una cancion
Quisiera fuera una declaracion de amor
Romantica sin reparar en formas tales
Que ponga freno a lo que siento ahora a raudales
Te amo
Te amo
Eternamente te amo
Si me faltaras no voy a morirme

Si he de morir quiero que sea contigo
Mi soledad se siente acompañada
Por eso a veces se que necesito
Tu mano
Tu mano
Eternamente tu mano
Cuando te vi sabia que era cierto
Este temor de hallarme descubierto
Tu me desnudas con siete razones
Me abres el pecho siempre que me colmas
De amores
De amores
Eternamente de amores
Si alguna vez me siento derrotado
Renuncio a ver el sol cada mañana
Rezando el credo que me has enseñado
Miro tu cara why digo en la ventana
Yolanda
Yolanda
Eternamente Yolanda
Yolanda

Eternamente Yolanda
Eternamente Yolanda
