Zingara
M. José Quintanilla Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tómame la mano, Zíngara
dime pronto que destino ves,
háblame de amores,
no tengo temores,
porque ya sé que no me pertenece.

Mira en mis ojos, Zíngara
si el color de sus cabellos ves,

y si son dorados o si han cambiado,
y tú sabes cual es el porqué.

Y si escrito está que lo perderé
dime por favor por qué su amor se muere.

Tómame la mano, Zíngara
dime pronto q destino ves,
dime que me ama,
dame una esperanza,
que alcanza para ser feliz.

Dime que me ama,
dame una esperanza,
que me alcanza para ser feliz.

Y si escrito está que lo perderé,
dime por favor por qué su amor se muere.

Tómame la mano, Zíngara
dime pronto que destino ves,
dime que me ama,

dame una esperanza...
que me alcanza para ser feliz...
