Corazon Corazon
José Feliciano Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Es inutil dejar de quererte
yo no puedo vivir sin tu amor
no me digas que voy a perderte
no me quieras matar, corazón

Yo que diera por no recordarte
yo que diera por no ser de ti
pero olvida que te dije te quiero

te di mi cariño y no supe de mí
corazón, corazón

Si has pensado dejar mi cariño
recuerda el camino donde te encontré
si has pensado cambiar tu destino
recuerda un poquito quien te hizo mujer
si despues de sentir tu pasado
me miras de frente y me dices adios
te diré con el alma en la mano
que puedes quedarte porque yo me voy

corazón, corazón
no me quieras matar, corazón
