Romance De Amor
L.A. Four Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tres, cuatro

Dime si me va' a quere'
Soy hombre de poco hablar, Consuelo

No tengo na' que ofrecer
Un conuco, un gallo y un lucero
Y la luz de la mañana
Que entra por mi ventana, cielo
Y lo' río' y la montaña
Y el viento que peina tu pelo

Yo quisiera ofrecerte el mundo y no puedo

Na' me tienes que ofrecer
Tu mirar es lo único que quiero

Dormiremos cuando el día
Se acueste encima del potrero

Y lo' grillo' harán su canto
Entre hierba y pasto soñaremos
Y de tanto amor tu cuerpo
Hará de mi vientre lo que espero
Un retrato de tu cariño, te quiero

Woh-oh, te quiero
Woh-oh, te quiero

La la la la re
A ra la la la la la la re
A ra la la la la la la re
A ra la la la la re

A la la la re
A ra la la la la la la re
A ra la la la la la la re
A ra la la la la re

A la la la re
A ra la la la la la la re




A ra la la la la la la re
A ra la la la la re

Igor, while listening to your music, couldn't stop tears rolling down my cheeks. My brother died at the age of 21 years old, and his best friend played the same music on his guitar, the day of the funerals.. I know many peoples are playing the same , but you are the one I love the most. Thanks to you Igor, to help me live that day April 10, for 48 years now.
