Cuando Me Vaya
Los Tres Diamantes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
YO EN ADORARTE
Y TU EN RECOMPENSARME
CON TRAICION
SI ME ALEJODE TI
ES POR COMPLACERTE
MAS NUNCA DEJARE
DE QUERERTE
POR MI LLORARAS
Y ESTANDO A SOLAS
TAL VES ME DIRAS
QUE INJUSTAMENTE
TE HICE SUFRIR
SI CON MIS CELOS
SENTIAS MORIR
CUANDO ME VAYA
SE QUE SENTIRAS
CANCION MUY ONDA
QUE NO
Y SI A OTROS MIRAS
A MI ME VERAS
Y SI A OTROS BESAS
EN MI PENSARAS
CUANDO ME VAYA
SE QUE POR MI LLORARAS
Y SI A OTROS BESAS
EN MI PENSARAS
CUANDO ME VAYA
SE QUE POR MI
LLORARAS

Nunca hubo tontería ; no fue por complacerte, sino porque te amé como a nadie y creo que te sigo amando.
@triosclas
Esta fue una muy gustada canción, interpretada por una diversidad de cantantes, pero creo que los Tres Diamantes fueron el único trío que hizo una versión de ella.
