Quisiera Amarte Menos
Maria Dolores Pradera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Primavera de mis veinte años
Relicario de mi juventud
Un cariño feliz yo soñaba
Y estoy sola con mi esclavitud
Quisiera amarte menos
No verte más quisiera
Salvarme de esta hoguera
Que no puedo resistir
Es cruel este cariño
Que no me da descanso
En ti la paz no alcanzo
Y lejos no sé vivir
Quisiera amarte menos
Porque esto ya no es vida
Mi vida está perdida
De tanto quererte
No sé si necesito
Tenerte o perderte
Yo sé que te he querido
Más de lo que he podido
Quisiera amarte menos
Buscando el olvido
Y en vez de amarte menos
Te quiero mucho más
Quisiera amarte menos
Porque esto ya no es vida
Mi vida está perdida
De tanto quererte
No sé si necesito
Tenerte o perderte
Yo sé que te he querido
Más de lo que he podido
Quisiera amarte menos
Buscando el olvido




Y en vez de amarte menos
Te quiero mucho más
