Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Te perdí, bien lo se
y yo no me quejo
porque un amor así
yo no lo quiero (BIS)
Yo quiero un amor bonito
que me llene de alegría
Yo quiero un amor bonito
que me de su corazón (BIS)

Un amor que me de besos
y no mortificación (BIS)

Y te vi muy feliz
en brazos extraños
pero al fín no sentí
tu desengaño (BIS)

Yo quiero un amor bonito
que me llene de alegría
Yo quiero un amor bonito
que me de su corazón

Un amor que me de besos
y no mortificación (BIS)
