La Sarita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como aquellos días en que vivía junto al bohío
Y a la madre mía
Oh, viento vuelve a ser como ayer
Para sentir el comienzo de mi vida
Oh, viento vuelve a ser como ayer
Para sentir el comienzo de mi historia
Como aquel entonces tan solo era un niño
Que feliz yo era
Oh viento, vuelve a ser como ayer
Para sentir el comienzo de mi vida
Oh, viento vuelve a ser como ayer
Para sentir el comienzo de mi historia
Viento vuelve a ser como ayer.
