Espinita
Los Panchos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Suave que me estás matando
que estás acabando com mi juventud
yo quisiera haberte sido infiel
y pagarte con una traición
eres como una espinita
que se me ha clavado en el corazón
suave que me estás sangrando
que me estás matando de pasión

Yo que sufro por mi gusto
este cruel martirio
que me da tu amor
no me importa lo que me hagas
si en tus besos vive todo mi ilusión
y que pase lo que pase
este pecho amante es no más de ti




aunque yo quisiera no podré olvidarte
porque siemprevas dentro de mi

La gran mayoría de canciones de todos los generos, a partir de los años 70 son plagiadas de las originales.

Excelente. Porque Recordar es vivir, siempre que los recuerdos sean buenos.
Y la música de los Panchos, SIEMPRE evoca muy buenos recuerdos de tiempos idos.
