Si Nos Dejan
Lucía Méndez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si nos dejan nos vamos
A querer toda la vida
Nos vamos a vivir
A un mundo nuevo
Yo creo podemos ver
El nuevo amanecer
De un nuevo día
Yo pienso que tu y yo

Podemos ser felices todavía
Buscamos un rincón cerca del cielo
Hacemos de las nubes terciopelo
Y ahí juntitos los dos
Cerquita de dios
Será lo que soñamos
Te llevo de la mano corazón
Y ahí nos vamos

Buscamos un rincón cerca del cielo

De todo lo demás nos olvidamos
