Pensando En Ti
Isabel Pantoja Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuantas veces la luna
Se ha posado en mi frente
Cuantas gotas de lluvia
Han mojado mis manos

Cuantas noches vacías
Cuantos cielos de plomo
Cuantas notas al aire

Cuantas tardes de toros

Pensando en ti y en este amor
Que parte mi universo en dos
Que llega del olvido hasta

Mi propia voz y arana mi pasado
Sin pedir perdón estas aquí
Te siento en cada espacio
De mi soledad te miro

Y te sonríes y después te vas
Y cruzas la distancia
Y yo me quedo aquí
Pensando en ti, pensando en ti

Cuantas veces en sueños
Me he escapado contigo
Cuantas veces mis labios
Han gritado te quiero

Cuanto tiempo esperando
Desde que tu te has ido

Cuantas noches vagando
Como un niño perdido
