Mar De Amor
Los Cafres Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No puedo mas que agradecer
Después de tanto enloquecer
Por toda esta gran lección de vida
Siento que mi corazón
Va a salir de la emoción
En un mar de lagrimas y risas

Viéndote así, sintiendo lo que hoy me

Entregas en medio de este mar de amor

No tengo mas que agradecer
Por este nuevo amanecer
Que es toda tu ilusión de vida
Es que tanto yo aprendí

Con todo lo que viví
En esta hermosa tierra americana
