Verdad Amarga
José Feliciano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo tengo que decirte la verdad
Aunque me duele el alma
No quiero que después me juzgues
Por pretender callarla.

Yo sé que es imposible nuestro amor
Porque el destino manda
Y tú sabrás un día perdonar
Esta verdad amarga.

Te juro por los dos
Que me cuesta la vida
Que sangrará la herida
Por una eternidad.

Tal vez mañana sepas comprender
Que siempre, siempre fui sincero
Tal vez por alguien llegues a saber
Que todavía te quiero.

Te juro por los dos....





(ahí namás, que todavía te quiero, oye yo te quiero tanto, que me desespero, si no te veo yo me muero, yo te quiero, yo te adoro.)
