Mariposa
Marina De La Riva Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mariposa de lindos colores
Que en mi patio cantas
Al atardecer
Mariposa
Ay si tu pudieras
Decirle en tu canto
Mi cruel padecer.
Mariposa de lindo plumaje
Que suave y que dulce
Es tu lindo cantar.
Al oírio me viene el recurdo
De aquel amor triste
Que me hizo llorar.

Mariposa de lindos colores
Que en mi patio cantas
Al entardecer
Mariposa que canta solita
En su jaula dorada
Cuando mure el sol.

Su superas que pena tan grande
Yo siento en mi alma
Desde que se fue
Dile en tu cantar mi tristeza y dolor
Que muriendo me estou por su amor.

Mariposa yo se que en mi vida
Ya no ha de volver a brilhar mas el sol.
Mariposa
Y se que ya nunca, tendré sus caricias
Sus besos de amor.

Al oirte cantar mariposa
Me viene el recuerdo
De aquella passión
En mi vida fue luz y penumbra
Locura infinita
Consuelo y dolor.

Mariposa de lindos colores
Que en mi patio cantas
Al entardecer
Mariposa que canta solita
En su jaula dorada
Cuando mure el sol.

Su superas que pena tan grande
Yo siento en mi alma
Desde que se fue
Dile en tu cantar mi tristeza y dolor
Que muriendo me estou por su amor.

Mariposa de lindos colores
Que en mi patio cantas
Al entardecer
Mariposa que canta solita
En su jaula dorada
Cuando mure el sol.

Su superas que pena tan grande
Yo siento en mi alma
Desde que se fue




Dile en tu cantar mi tristeza y dolor
Que muriendo me estou por su amor.
