Destino
Los Topos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No vengo a pedirte amores,
Ya no quiero tu cariño.
Si una vez te amé en la vida,
No lo vuelvas a decir.
Me contaron tus amigos
Que te encuentras muy solita,
Que maldices a tu suerte
Porque piensas mucho en mí.

Es por eso que he venido
A reirme de tu pena.
Yo que a Dios le habia pedido
Que te hundiera más que a mí.
Dios me ha dado ese capricho
Y he venido a verte hundida
Para hacerte yo en la vida
Como tú me hiciste a mí.
Ya lo ves como el destino
Todo cobra y nada olvida.
Ya lo ves como un cariño
Nos arrastra y nos humilla.
Qué bonita es la venganza
Cuando Dios nos la concede:
Yo sabía que en la revancha
Te tenía que hacer perder.
Ahi te dejo mi desprecio
Yo que tanto te adoraba

Pa'que veas cual es el precio
De las leyes del querer.
