El andariego
Los Santos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo que fui del amor ave de paso
Yo que fui mariposa de mil flores
Hoy siento la nostalgia de tus brazos
De aquellos tus ojasos
De aquellos tus amores

Ni cadenas ni lagrimas me ataron
Mas hoy siento la calma y el sociego
Perdona mi tardanza te lo ruego
Perdona al Andariego que hoy te roba el corazon

Hay ausencias que triunfan y la nuestra triunfo
Amemonos ahora con la paz
Que en otro tiempo nos falto
Y cuando yo me muera ni luz ni llanto
Ni luto ni nada mss ahi junto a mi cruz
Yo solo quiero paz

Solo tu Corazon si recuerdad mi amor
Una lagrima llevame por ultima vez
Y en silencio diras una plegaria
Y por Dios olvidame despues

Hay ausencias que triunfan y la nuestra triunfo
Amemonos ahora con la paz
Que en otro tiempo nos falto
Y cuando yo me muera ni luz ni llanto
Ni luto ni nada mas ahi junto a mi cruz
Yo solo quiero paz

Solo tu Corazon si recuerdad mi amor
Una lagrima llevame por ultima vez




Y en silencio diras una plegaria
Y por Dios olvidame despues
