Por Tu Amor
Mafalda Veiga Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoy ha entregado más que cuerpo y alma
Todo lo aposte
Mi cansacio com un trago de silencio
My fuerza y mi fe
Hoy ha habido una luna casi negra
En un cielo gris
Y uno es guerrero
Es compañeiro aunque no vuelva

Yo a saber de ti
Mas que más da
Si por tu amor hay que a aprender
A hacer revoluciones en la calle
Si hay que luchar hasta ya no poder
Yo lucharé
Cantando en noches de silencio
Ganando sobre piedras mi destino
Si hay que ser fuerte
Yo aprenderé

Hoy he buscado hasta el final de la oscuridad
La risa o la muerte
He arrancado muy muy dentro de mi alma
Raíces de flor o dolor
Mas que más da

Si por tu amor hay que a aprender
A hacer revoluciones en la calle
Si hay que luchar hasta ya no poder
Yo lucharé
Cantando en noches de silencio
Ganando sobre piedras mi destino

Si hay que ser fuerte
Yo aprenderé
