Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y por ese calor de tu gente sencilla y fantástica
Yo no quisiera tener que marcharme ya nunca más
Al despedirme yo quiero cantarte sin lágrimas
Santo Domingo esta canción es para ti
Adiós, me iré así
Santo Domingo mi corazón se queda aquí
Por cambiar el color de mi piel recordando tu sol y el mar
Porque yo encontré el amor en tus noches tan cálidas
Con mil palabras no puedo decir lo que siento
Y sin nostalgia quisiera partir, por eso
Santo Domingo esta canción es para ti
Adiós, me iré así
Santo Domingo mi corazón se queda aquí
Guarda un rincón para mí en tu tierra tan bella
Donde podamos vivir con mi amor cuando vuelva
Santo Domingo esta canción es para ti
Adiós, me iré así
Santo Domingo mi corazón se queda aquí
Santo Domingo esta canción es para ti
Adiós, me iré así
Santo Domingo mi corazón se queda aquí
