Medley Serenata
Los Toros Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Estando contigo me olvido
De todo y de mi.
Parece que todo lo tengo
Teniendote a ti.
Y no siento este mal que me agobia
Y que llevo conmigo,
Arruinando esta vida que llevo
Y no puedo vivir.

Eres luz que ilumina las noches
En mi largo camino;
Y es por eso que frente
Al destino no quiero vivir.

Una rosa en tu pelo parece
Una estrella en el cielo,
Y en el viento parece un acento
Tu voz musical;

Y parece un destello de luz
La medalla en tu cuello;
Al menor movimiento
De tu cuerpo al andar.

Yo a tu lado yo no siento las horas
Que van con el tiempo;

Ni me acuerdo que yo llevo en mi pecho
Una herida mortal;

Yo contigo no siento el sonar
De la lluvia y el viento,
Porque llevo tu amor en mi pecho
Como un madrigal.

Yo tuve un sueño feliz
Quise hacerte una canción
Y mi guitarra cojí puse todo el corazón
Concentre pensando en ti...
Volaron las palomas del milagro
Escucha dulce bien lo que escribí.

Éra en una playa de mi tierra
Tan querida a la orilla del mar
Era que allí estaba celebrándose una gira
Debajo de un palmar
Era que estabas preciosa
Con el color de rosa de tu traje
Sencillo y sin igual
Era que eras novia mía
Y que yo te sentía nerviosa
Entre mis brazos suspirar

Era que todo fue un sueño
Pero logre mi empeño
Porque te pude besar...

Mujer abre tu ventana
Para que escuches mi voz,
Que está cantando el que te ama,
Con el permiso de dios.
Aunque la noche está oscura,
Y aquí no hay ninguna luz
Con tu divina hermosura
La iluminas toda tú.
Con tu divina hermosura...
La iluminas toda tú

Yo te juro que ni el sol,
La luna ni las estrellas
Toditas, toditas ellas
Iluminan como tú.
Tú iluminaste mi vida,
Por eso mujer querida
Te canto esta noche azul.
Por eso vengo a robarte
Un rayito de tu luz

Amor que por demás eres ajeno
Que vienes a mis brazos temerosos
Sabiendo que es mortal este veneno
Te brindas con tus labios primorosos.

Jugandote la vida en un beso
Amor travieso, ajeno y peligroso.

Tu me has sabido querer asi discretamente
Yo te he jurado amarte asi hasta la muerte.

Amor que por demás eres robado
Los dos hemos pecado de este modo.
Me tienes porque de tí se olvidaron
No saben que tu guardas un tesoro
En el divino cofre de tus labios,
Que cuando besas...




Ay amor.lo entregas todo...
Ay amor lo entregas todo
