Contigo
Los Verduleros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo aquí no tan bien
Te escribo porque te extraño y te quiero ver
El tiempo paso
Trabajando estoy
Y me imaginó esas noches por asunción
Si de casualidad hoy te recordas
Que aquí muy lejos hay un chicho que te ama en verdad
Y la espera se hacer larga ya no aguantó mi amor
Yo quiero estar contigo
Yo quiero estar contigo
Yo quiero estar contigo
Yo quiero estar contigo
Tuve que viajar a buscar el pan
Yo nunca quise yo nunca te quise dejar
Y si te preguntar por que esto paso
Te juro nena es por un futuro mejor
Por un futuro mejor
Extraño las tantas rondas de terere
El fútbol con los perros
El asado también
Extraño a mis amigos y a mi mamá
Extraño estar contigo y salir a bailar
Pero por sobre todo te extraño amor
Te quiero nena
Quiero volver a Paraguay
Yo quiero estar contigo
Quiero volver a Paraguay
Yo quiero estar contigo
Yo quiero estar contigo
Nena como estás?
Yo aquí no tan bien
Te escribo porque te extraño y te quiero ver
El tiempo paso
Trabajando estoy
Y me imaginó esas noches por asunción
Si de casualidad hoy te recordas
Que aquí muy lejos hay un chicho que te ama en verdad
La vida nos separó mi alma se quebró
Y la espera se hacer larga ya no aguantó mi amor
Yo quiero estar contigo
Yo quiero estar contigo
Yo quiero estar contigo
Yo quiero estar contigo
(Yo no soy nada sin ti) Yo quiero estar contigo
Yo quiero estar contigo
Yo quiero estar contigo
Yo quiero estar contigo
Yo quiero estar contigo
