My Soul
Maria Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why you wanna make me cry?
Aren't you tired of disappointing me?
Don't you know that I deserve better than you ever gave to me?
You know it's just the way I give, you take, baby

Every time I'm up then you come around and you try to bring me down
(My soul)
Keeps on telling me that I've gotta let you go
(My soul)
And with all your lies boy, you've tainted everything
My soul, I've gotta let you go, 'cause I know you're poisoning my soul

And everything you promised me, I know it could never be

Remember when you gave me strength
Baby, now you only make me weak
I pray somehow that I can break
The spell you put on me

Every time I'm up then you come around and you try to bring me down
(My soul)
Keeps on telling me that I've gotta let you go
(My soul)
And with all your lies boy, you've tainted everything
My soul, I've gotta let you go, 'cause I know you're poisoning my soul

And everything you promised me, I know it could never be
(I know It could never be)
Every everything you promised me
(Promised me)
I know it could never be

(I can't live without you, I can't live without you
I can't live without your love)
You keep telling me and when you come around




I just break on down
'Cause I know you no good, I can't live without your love

Si deseo sonreir
Pienso solamente en ti
En la magia de l'amor
En tu piel, en tu sabor

En la isla del dolor
Recuerdo tu calor
Desearia morir
Cerca de ti

Un ardiente corazon
Colorea mi pasion
Deseando compartir
El sentir de este vivir

En las olas de este mar
Sueno en la eternidad
Con cada luna vendras
Con la merea te iras

En un caracol
Pienso oir tu voz
La bella Maria de mi amor
De mi amor

Aunque esternos separados
En un sueno angelicar
Si llego de nuevo amar
No hay razon porque cambiar

Temo yo permanecer
Sin ti en la eternidad
Lejos nos puedon separar
Jamas pudiera olvidar

Tu risa celestial
Tus besos, tu calor
La bella Maria de mio amor

Si no te vuelva a ver
No dejaras de ser
La bella Maria de mi amor
De mi amor

Тоже обожаю этот фильм. Арманд Ассанте такой красивый. Мой любимый актер.

@dmitriandrews7800

После этого фильма Бандероса заметили в Голливуде
Но в фильмах на латинскую тематику он был полубог.Когда стал сниматся в американском ширпотребе шарм куда то исчез.та же история с мексиканским Гаель Гарри Берналь."сука- любовь" " И твою маму тоже" советую посмотреть.Взяли в Голливуд-стал ни о чём.

Este es José Antonio Domínguez Bandera, de nombre artístico ANTONIO BANDERAS, el mejor y más valiente actor de la Historia del Cine Español hasta ahora. Hace más de 40 años hacíamos teatro aquí en Málaga en el Teatro Romano y también dábamos Recitales de Poesía con otros actores de nuestra querida Málaga. Con solo 17 años me hablaba con tanta pasión sobre las ganas que tenía de triunfar que le brillaban los ojos y yo me quedaba muy impresionado, yo entonces tenía 27 años, nunca olvidaré la forma en que hablaba. Años después en 1981 actuamos juntos por última vez en Julio Cesar de Shakespeare y bordó el personaje de Marco Antonio, y solo tenía 20 años !!! Entonces le dije: "José Antonio, tú vas a llegar a la cumbre, estoy totalmente convencido, debes aprender inglés e irte a hacer cine con los americanos". Acerté en mi pronóstico, incluso me quedé muy corto, porque ha llegado a convertirse en una estrella de Hollywood. Además José Antonio - como yo le sigo llamando - es ESPAÑOL por los cuatro costados y se siente muy orgulloso de su país y de su tierra. Honor a José Antonio Domínguez Bandera, que Dios le bendiga !!!

@@milkafalcon6045 Antonio Banderas es un tío con dos huevos. Es un luchador que nunca se rinde, como lo eran nuestros heroicos antepasados en la Época del Imperio Romano. Me refiero a las Legiones Romanas que cercaron a Numancia para incendiarla y destruirla con sus habitantes dentro, y prefirieron morir antes que arrodillarse ante Roma. Hay una obra de Teatro de Cervantes que se llama NUMANCIA, que trata del asunto. Nosotros la representamos en nuestro Teatro Romano en el verano de 1979. Yo no pude actuar aquel año porque me lesioné el tobillo derecho y sufrí un esguince que me impedía andar. Los accidentes de esta clase son muy frecuentes en el Teatro. Hay que tenerlo muy en cuenta. Recuerdos desde Málaga La Bella.
