Quiero vivir contigo
Luis Eduardo Aute Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quiero vivir contigo
como vive el planeta en la esfera
y la luna en el mar,
como el destino en el camino
y así siendo distintos en la misma
identidad
seré el deseo tuyo dentro de mi voluntad,
quiero vivir,

quiero vivir contigo.

Quiero vivir contigo
como vive la llama en el centro
de la claridad
como en el texto vive el pretexto,
así yo quiero ser palabra en tu
conversación
como la voz es música cuando se hace
canción,
quiero vivir,
quiero vivir contigo.

Quiero vivir contigo
como vive en el todo la nada
y el bien en el mal,
como el espejo
en su reflejo,
así yo quiero ser la luz de tu
contradicción
y verme como imagen de tu propia
reflexión,

quiero vivir,
quiero vivir contigo.
