POR QUE TE VAS
Maná Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si hoy tan solo te pudiera acariciar
Ay, te extraño tanto tanto corazón, que no sabes
Todo pasa tan deprisa en estas calles
En un cerrar de ojos todo termino
Yo no sé porque te fuiste sin decir adiós
¿Por qué te vas?
Cuando te quiero demás
Me hace falta tu calor aquí en mi cama
Sin tu sonrisa el cielo, el sol se me apagó
Yo no sé si es mejor morirme de amor, no sé
¿Por qué te vas?
¿Por qué te vas?
Cuando te quiero demás
Dile al cielo que no puedo
Dile que no se vivir sin ti
Eso pasa por quererte demás
Dile que es mejor morirme de amor
¿Por qué te vas?
¿Por qué te vas?
Cuando te quiero demás
¿Por qué te vas?
¿Por qué te vas?
Cuando te quiero demás
