Laura Pausini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando el viento desnuda los árboles
Los demás se han ido al cine ya
Pero tú quieres estar solo
Y de hablar no tienes ganas
Ahora escríbeme
Menos vulnerable tú te sentirás
Solamente indiferencia
Quiero que nunca te olvides tú de mí
Y si no encuentras palabras
Especiales que decirme
Por favor no te preocupes
Puedo comprenderte
Para mi es lo más grande si me piensas un minuto
Porque puedo contentarme si me mandas un saludo
Nos basta poco para sentirnos más cerca
Escríbeme
Cuando el cielo limpio volverá a brillar
Y los días se prolongarán
No esperes a que acabe el día
Si tú quieres cantar
Escríbeme
También cuando creas que
Que te has enamorado
Quiero que nunca te olvides tú de mí
(De mí)
Y si no encuentras palabras especiales que decirme
Por favor no te preocupes
Yo puedo comprenderte
Para mi es lo bastante si me piensas un minuto
Porque puedo contentarme si me mandas un saludo
Nos basta poco para sentirnos más cerca
Escríbeme
También cuando creas que
Que te has enamorado
Tú escríbeme
Oh escríbeme
