Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tanto que ya no puedo sollozar
Sola temblando de ansiedad estoy
Todos me miran y se van
Mujer, si puedes tu con Dios hablar
Preguntale si yo alguna vez, te he dejado de adorar
Y al mar, espejo de mi corazón
Te he buscado donde quiera que yo voy
Y no te puedo hayar
Para que quiero otros besos
Si tus labios no me quieren ya besar
Y tu, quien sabe por donde andarás
Quien sabe que aventura tendrás
Que lejos estás de mí
Te he buscado por donde quiera que voy
Y no te puedo hayar
Para que quiero otros besos
Si tus labios no me quieren ya besar
Y tu, quien sabe por donde andarás
Quien sabe que aventura tendrás
Que lejos estás de mi
