Amor Profundo
Julio Jaramillo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo no creí
Que al cabo de los años
Fuera a encontrar
Un amor como el tuyo
Porque sólo encontré desengaños
Y ahora tengo el calor de tu arrullo

Soy tan feliz

Teniéndote a mi lado
Porque tengo en tu amor una esperanza
De vivir unidos para siempre
Como el cielo y la mar en Lontananza

Lo que espero
De ti con tanto anhelo
En el cielo de tu amor y para siempre
Es que me quieras como yo te quiero
Y olvidarnos jamás ni con la muerte

Yo no creí
Que al cabo de los años
Fuera a encontrar
Un amor como el tuyo
Porque sólo encontré desengaños
Y ahora tengo el calor de tu arrullo

Soy tan feliz
Teniéndote a mi lado
Porque tengo en tu amor una esperanza
De vivir unidos para siempre
Como el cielo y la mar en Lontananza

Lo que espero
De ti con tanto anhelo
En el cielo de tu amor y para siempre

Es que me quieras como yo te quiero
Y olvidarnos jamás ni con la muerte

The song's lyrics, combined with Jaramillo's soulful voice, create a powerful and poignant love ballad that speaks to the depths and complexities of ideal romance.
