Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Morena)
Eres dueña de mis sueños
(Morena) Y también de mi vigilia
(Morena) Y también de mi vigilia
(Morena)
De tus ojos yo soy dueño
(Morena) Que en la noche me vigilan
(Morena y) Eres dueña de mis sueños

En mis sueños te veo
(Morena) Y yo perplejo
De tenerte tan cerca
Pero tan lejos
En mis sueños te veo
Y yo perplejo
Pero tan lejos, mi alma
(Morena) Casi te toco
De soñarte despierto
Me vuelvo loco

Me tienes sin cordura
(Morena) Con tu hermosura
