Para Volar
Guaco Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Desde que la vi
Yo me enamore
Y hasta el sol de hoy
Vive en mi este sentimiento
De amar sin correspondido

Fue como una cruz
Que me toco cargar

Es un laberinto
Es mi cruda realidad
Que aprieta pero no ahoga

Por eso mismo pasaran mas de mil años
Y yo aqui estare esperando
Para darte vida mia
Lo que hoy estoy soñando
Un sin fin de cosas bellas
Que no tienes una idea
Si supieras no lo pensarias
Ni un minuto mas perdieras ohh ohh

Para volar al cielo
Y acariciar tu pelo
En una nube blanca
Es lo que yo mas quiero
Subir a lo mas alto
Junto a un millon de estrellas
Y que tu amor florezca como la luna llena

Por ahora no me canso de esperar aqui
Porque tu amor no tiene dueño
De una esperanza yo me aferro

Si en algun lugar del mundo
Por una casualidad
Escuchas mi cancion

Pon toda tu atencion
Te invito una vez mas
