No Me Quieras Tanto
Lucía Mendez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tener que decirte
Que mi amor se extingue
Como una pavesa
Y poquito a poco
Se queda sin luz.
Yo se que te mueres
Y se que me quieres,
Que soy tu delirio
Y que en esta vida
He sido tu cruz.
Ay, amor ya no me quieras tanto, Ay, amor no sufras mas por mi.
Si no mas puedo causarte llanto,
Ay, amor olbidate de mi.
Me da pena que sigas sufriendo
Tu amor desesperado,
Yo quisiera que tu te encontraras
De nuevo otro querer
Otro ser que te brinde la dicha
Que yo no te he brindado
Y poder alejarme de ti
Para nunca mas volver.
Ay, amor ya no me quieras tanto, Ay, amor no sufras mas por mi.
Si no mas puedo causarte llanto,
Ay, amor olbidate de mi.
