Madrid
Los Rancheros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoy tomaré un vuelo a Madrid
Y en el aeropuerto te veré.
No me pidas mas, he dado suficiente
Al amanecer me iré de aquí.
Si sueños no hay
No quiero seguir
La vida no sirve de nada.
Si sueños no hay
No quiero seguir
Tu mundo no es para mí.
Días de oro
En que todo me hacía reír,
Días de oro en que fui feliz.
Corto el cordón
Que me ata a Buenos Aires
Poco es lo que queda para mí.
Me repetirás
Mil veces tu lamento
Pero hoy te tengo que decir.
Si sueños no hay
No quiero seguir
La vida no sirve de nada.
Si sueños no hay
No quiero seguir
Tu mundo no es para mí.
Días de oro




En que todo me hacía reír,
Días de oro en que fui feliz.
