Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sería la puerta al paraíso
Al mirarme en esos ojos
La tristeza se me achica
Se agiganta mi alegría
Hoy mi pena ya no duele
Hoy mi alma está de fiesta
Hoy mi alma está de fiesta
Por tus lindos ojos verdes
Poco a poco la distancia
Me fue acercando a los caminos
Mi corazón se halló contigo
Reconozco que al tocarte
Me tembló hasta el apellido
Provocando que mi orgullo
Me pusiera frente a frente
Pa gritarle a todo el mundo
Que en mi vida hay primavera
Que mi cielo lo ha pintado
Unos lindos ojos verdes
Y cuando te hago el amor
Mi amor
Entiendo que jamás lo había hecho
Que el sexo es un impulso del cuerpo
Y este amor anida en mi pecho
Y cuando llores por mi
Mi amor
Bendigo el vientre de donde vienes
Sagrado privilegio tenerte
Y verme en esos ojitos verdes
Poco a poco la distancia
Me fue acercando a los caminos
Mi corazón se halló contigo
Reconozco que al tocarte
Me tembló hasta el apellido
Provocando que mi orgullo
Me pusiera frente a frente
Pa gritarle a todo el mundo
Que en mi vida hay primavera
Que mi cielo lo ha pintado
Unos lindos ojos verdes
Y cuando te hago el amor
Mi amor
Entiendo que jamás lo había hecho
Que el sexo es un impulso del cuerpo
Y este amor anida en mi pecho
Y cuando llores por mi
Mi amor
Bendigo el vientre de donde vienes
Sagrado privilegio tenerte
Y verme en esos ojitos verdes
