Arrepentida
Jorge Negro Farías Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si tu crees que me puedes olvidar
Anda, vete, no te voy a suplicar
Yo no quiero que tu digas algún día
Que por mi perdiste la felicidad

Puedes irte, ya no hay nada más que hablar
Si al final tu te cansaste de mi amor
De este amor que ha sido pobre pero honrado

Y cuando te hayas ido te acordarás de mí

En busca de cariño te vas
Pero yo sé que solo encontrarás
Dolor y pena, yo sé que así es la vida
Y cuando convencida estés
De que no es oro todo lo que ves
Arrepentida, querrás cambiar de vida

Yo sé que volverás
No sé si te perdonaré
Lo único que sé
Es que jamás te olvidaré.

Es busca de cariño te vas
Pero yo sé que encontrarás
Dolor y pena yo sé que así es la vida
Y cuando convencida estés
De que no es oro todo lo que ves
Arrepentida, querrás cambiar de vida

Yo sé que volverás
No sé si te perdonaré
Lo único que sé
Es que jamás te olvidaré

Yo sé que volverás
No sé si te perdonaré

Lo único que sé
Es que jamás te olvidaré.
