Amar Y Querer
Josimar y su Yambú Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Casi todos sabemos querer
Pero pocos sabemos amar
Y es que amar y querer no es igual
Amar es sufrir, querer es gozar

El que ama pretende servir
El que ama su vida la da
Y el que quiere pretende vivir
Y nunca sufrir y nunca sufrir

El que ama no puede pensar
Todo lo da, todo lo da
El que quiere pretende olvidar
Y nunca llorar y nunca llorar

El querer pronto puede acabar
El amor no conoce el final
Es que todos sabemos querer
Pero pocos sabemos amar

El que ama no puede pensar
Todo lo da, todo lo da
El que quiere pretende olvidar
Y nunca llorar y nunca llorar

El querer pronto puede acabar
El amor no conoce el final
Es que todos sabemos querer
Pero pocos sabemos amar

El amar es la cielo y la luz
El amar es total plenitud
Es el mar que no tiene final
Es la gloria y la paz, es la gloria y la paz

El que ama no puede pensar
Todo lo da, todo lo da
El que quiere pretende olvidar
Y nunca llorar y nunca llorar

El querer pronto puede acabar
El amor no conoce el final
Es que todos sabemos querer
Pero pocos sabemos amar

(En cuestiones del amor, pocos saben qué es amar)
El que ama no puede pensar
Todo lo da, todo lo da
(En cuestiones del amor, pocos saben qué es amar)

Si para amar hay que sufrir, hay que entender que enloquecer
Difícil es amar, fácil es querer
(En cuestiones del amor, pocos saben qué es amar)




Como yo que te enregué mi vida
Como yo no te amarán
