Los Acosta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Todos los dfias la miro pasar
Va como siempre a la iglesia a rezar
Y de rodillas le pide al señor
Para que pronto regrese su amor

Es la muchacha de la cara triste
La que siempre sola camina en la calle
Es la muchacha de la cara triste

Por eso nadie le puede ayudar

Ohh mi dios tu que todo lo puedes
Mira como de amor esa niña se muere
Por favor haz que pronto regrese
Por que ella merece ser feliz junto a el

Todo el pueblo conoce si historia
Dicen que el prometio regresar
Ella lo ama y no lo puede olvidar
Solo espera un dia verlo llegar

Es la muchacha de la cara triste
La que siempre sola camina en la calle
Es la muchacha de la cara triste
Por eso nadie le puede ayudar

Ohh mi dios tu que todo lo puedes
Mira como de amor esa niña se muere

Por favor haz que pronto regrese
Por que ella merece ser feliz junto a el
