Legendary salsa group started playing traditional folklore in the 1960s, later turning to tropical style. As the band was getting involved in the local scene, a growing number of followers made them one of the most popular acts all over the country. Led by singer Gustavo Aguado, the 22-piece act had the opportunity to go beyond Venezuelan frontiers while releasing its music in the U.S. and Europe in the late '90s.
Dejate Querer
Guaco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
se ha clavado en toda el alma
y tu voz que me susurra se aloja en mi locura
y me aleja de mis dudas
si me dejas que te quiera
yo te quiero a mi manera me acurruco
en tu sonrisa espere hoy la prisa
que mi corazon ya grita
Dejate querer, si no quieres no quiere el destino
Dejate querer, si no te tengo tienes un amigo
Dejate querer, y sueño contigo
Te llevo en mi piel (Bis)
II
Cuando no te conocia no entiendo como vivia
Voy cantando ruiseñores, todo es de mil colores
Que ni deja que te adore
Tu estas en todos mis sueños
hay del mas grande al mas pequeño (belen)
Haces que escampe la lluvia pa`que se vea la luna
y mi amor se te descubra
Dejate querer, hay si no quieres no quiere el destino
Dejate querer, si no te tengo tienes un amigo
Dejate querer, y sueño contigo
Te llevo en mi piel (Bis)
III
Yo contigo llego al cielo
me haces despegar del suelo
veo solo atardeceres llenos de canela y mieles
que me bañan de placeres (tu amor... puro dolor)
Hay Dejate querer Oh Oh
Te llevo aqui en mi piel... amor
Dejate querer...
Dejate querer, que yo te lleno de ternura y besos
Dejate querer, que te regalo todo el universo
Dejate querer, no hay otro camino
Deja amanecer... (venga)
Dejate Querer...
Dejate Querer...
