Hasta Mañana
Luis Eduardo Aute Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Qué fría es la soledad
y el vacío de mi alma, mi alma,
que va muriendo
sin tu mirada.

Tan difícil olvidar
tu promesa de un mañana, de un mañana,
y aquellos besos

en tus palabras.

Tú me dijiste que tu amor
podría resistir
el tiempo de un "adiós,
hasta mañana".

Otra vez la oscuridad
de la noche y las lágrimas, lágrimas;
llega el silencio
y luego nada.

Y así miento la verdad
del recuerdo de un mañana, mañana,

que ya es un sueño,
apenas nada.
