Aquí Sigo
Julieta Venegas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aunque la realidad sea un cuerpo cansado
No quiere moverse ya, teme tanto a dolor
Y a la soledad

Mi corazón dice no, esto no es verdad
Late sin cesar, casi quiere volar
Y gritarte

Aquí sigo, me siento tan vivo
Aún tengo tiempo para perder
Puedo ser mejor, solo quédate conmigo
Puedo ser mejor contigo aquí

Tanto conocí el olvido y la pena
Vi caer sobre mí el orgullo y su condena
Y así estoy ante ti

Aquí sigo, me siento tan vivo
Aún tengo tiempo para perder

Puedo ser mejor, solo quédate conmigo
Puedo ser mejor contigo aquí
