Sálvame
Julio Jaramillo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Sálvame, sálvame"
Así me lo pediste una vez, "sálvame"
Cuando vagabas llena de penas y sufrimientos
Sola y perdida, sin esperanzas de salvamento

Y yo, pobre de mí, te lo creía
Y ciego de ilusión te fui queriendo
Pensando que por siempre serías mía
Confiado y sin temor, me fui entregando

Yo no quise pensar que extrañarías
Tu vida de placer y de aventura
Como hoy, que ya te vas, porque en mi vida
Te falta lo de ayer, adiós, querida

Yo no quise pensar que extrañarías
Tu vida de placer y de aventura




Como hoy, que ya te vas, porque en mi vida
Te falta lo de ayer, adiós, querida

007geminis1975 gracias por subir esta hermosa canción, me trae ingratos recuerdos de un querido amigo y compadre. Esa canción la grabó con Wilfrido Vargas el venezolano Leo Diaz en una muy buena versión. Lo triste es que mi amigo y compadre en un arranque de celos y sumido en una horrible depresión, se quitó la vida oyendo esa canción. En su memoria la tengo ahora en mi colección musical gracias a usted.
