Derroche
Julio Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

El reloj de cuerda suspendido,
El teléfono desconectado,
Una mesa dos copas de vino,
Y a la noche se le fue la mano

Una luz rosada imaginamos
Comenzamos por probar el vino,
Con mirarnos todo lo dijimos,
Y a la noche se le fue la mano

Si supiera contar
Todo lo que sentí
No quedó ni un lugar
Que no anduviera de ti

Besos, ternura
Qué derroche de amor
Cuánta locura
Besos, ternura
Qué derroche de amor
Cuánta locura

Que no acabe esta noche
Ni esta luna de abril
Para entrar en el cielo
No es preciso morir

Besos, ternura
Qué derroche de amor
Cuánta locura
Besos, ternura
Qué derroche de amor
Cuánta locura

Derrochamos no importaba nada
Las reservas de los manantiales
Parecíamos dos irracionales
Que se iban a morir mañana

Si supiera contar
Todo lo que sentí
No quedó ni un lugar
Que no anduviera de ti

Besos, ternura
Qué derroche de amor
Cuánta locura
Besos, ternura
Qué derroche de amor
Cuánta locura

Que no acabe esta noche
Ni esta luna de abril
Para entrar en el cielo
No es preciso morir

Besos, ternura
Qué derroche de amor
Cuánta locura
Besos, ternura




Qué derroche de amor
Cuánta locura
