Sombras
Los de Salta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuando tu te hayas ido me envolveran las sombras
Cuando tu te hayas ido con mi dolor a solas
Evocar el idilio de esas felices horas
Cuando tu te hayas ido me envolveran las sombras
Y en la penunbra baja
De la pequeña alcoba
Cuando una tibia tarde
Te acariciaba toda
Te buscaran mis manos, te besara mi boca
Y aspirare en el aire como un olor a rosas
Cuabdo tu te hayas ido me envolveran las sombras
Y en la penumbra baja
De la pequeña alcoba
Cuando una tibia tarde
Te acariciaba toda
Te buscaran mis manos, te besara mi boca




Y aspirare en el aire como un olor a rosas
Cuando tu te hayas ido, amor, me envolveran las sombras
