Ilan Chester Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
de frente al sol, con la mirada del amor
Eras la luz, eras la paz,
con la mirada del amor.
Te enamoré, me enamoré
con la mirada del amor.
Te di un color para tu piel
y un nuevo modo de querer.
Tu primavera despertó con la mirada del amor.
Todo mi llanto se secó con la mirada del amor
Nos aprendimos a querer con la mirada del amor
y descubrimos la verdad
que estaba oculta entre los dos.
Todo empezó con la mirada del amor.
Cuando mi amor te conoció
se iluminó mi juventud.
cuando mi amor te enlonqueció
tu comenzaste a ser tu.
Hoy que se apaga tu locura consentida
yo te cambio por mi vida
lo que queda de tu amor.
Hoy que se apaga tu locura consentida
yo te cambio por mi vida
lo que queda de tu amor...
