Un Siglo de Ausencia
Los Tres Reyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Un siglo de ausencia,
Voy sufriendo por ti
Y una amarga impaciencia
Me ocasiona vivir
Tan separado de ti
Pensar
Que no he de verte otra vez,
Fingir
Que soy feliz sin tu amor
Llorar con mi dolor
La vida inclemente
Te separa de mí
Y un siglo de ausencia
Voy sufriendo por ti

En la multitud
Busco los ojos
Que me hicieron tan feliz
Y no logro hallar
En otros labios
La ilusión que yo perdí
La vida inclemente
Te separa de mí,
Y un siglo de ausencia
Voy sufriendo por ti

En la multitud
Busco los ojos
Que me hicieron tan feliz
Y no logro hallar
En otros labios
La ilusión que yo perdí
La vida inclemente
Te separa de mí,
Y un siglo de ausencia
Voy sufriendo por ti




Y un siglo de ausencia
Voy sufriendo por ti.
