A Tu Vera
Isabel Pantoja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a tu vera, siempre a la verita tuya,
siempre a la verita tuya,
hasta que de amor me muera.
Que no mirase tus ojos,
que no llamase a tu puerta,
que no pisase de noche,
las piedras de tu calleja.
siempre a la verita tuya,
hasta que de amor me muera.
Mira que dicen y dicen,
mira que la tarde aquella,
mira que se fue y se vino,
de su casa a la alameda.
Y así mirando y mirando,
así empezó mi ceguera,
así empezó mi ceguera.
Que no bebiese en tu pozo,
que no jurase en la reja,
que no mirase contigo,
la luna de primavera.
Ya pueden clavar puñales,
ya pueden cruzar tijeras,
ya pueden cubrir con sal,
los ladrillos de tu puerta.
Ayer, hoy, mañana y siempre
eternamente a tu vera,
eternamente a tu vera.
