Samba Triste
Iara Negrete Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Que triste fue decirnos adiós
cuando nos adorábamos más
hasta la golondrina emigró
presagiando el final
Que triste luce todo sin ti
los mares de las playas se van
se tiñen los colores de gris
hoy todo es soledad
No se si vuelva a verte después
no se que de mi vida será
sin en el lucero azul de tú ser
que no me alumbra ya
Hoy quiero saborear mi dolor
no pido compasión ni piedad
la historia de este amor se escribió
para la eternidad
Que triste, todos dicen que soy
que siempre estoy hablando de ti
no saben que pensando en tú amor
en tú amor he podido ayudarme a vivir
he podido ayudarme a vivir
Hoy quiero saborear mi dolor
no pido compasión ni piedad
la historia de este amor se escribió
para la eternidad
Que triste, todos dicen que soy
que siempre estoy hablando de ti
no saben que pensando en tú amor
en tú amor
he podido ayudarme a vivir




he podido ayudarme a vivir
he podido ayudarme a vivir
