Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mi vida
Yo vivo siempre pensando en tu amor
Me pongo triste a llorar

Que tanto le di por ese amor
Más fue en vano
Se fue y nunca volverá

Más en adelante intentaré
Hoy procurar un nuevo amor
Tal vez ya cambie mi existir

Más en adelante intentaré
Hoy procurar un nuevo amor
Tal vez ya cambie mi existir

Yo vivo siempre pensando en tu amor
Que fue ayer, me pongo triste a llorar

Que tanto le di por ese amor
Más fue en vano
Se fue y nunca volverá

Más en adelante intentaré
Hoy procurar un nuevo amor
Tal vez ya cambie mi existir

Más en adelante intentaré
Hoy procurar un nuevo amor
Tal vez ya cambie mi existir

Más en adelante intentaré
Hoy procurar un nuevo amor
Tal vez ya cambie mi existir

Más creo que el destino corto es

Yo ya no puedo más vivir
Pues yo prefiero hoy morir
