Corazón Coraza
Mario Benedetti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Porque te tengo y no
Porque te pienso
Porque la noche está de ojos abiertos
Porque la noche pasa y digo amor
Porque has venido a recoger tu imagen
Y eres mejor que todas tus imágenes
Porque eres buena desde el alma a mí
Porque te escondes dulce en el orgullo
Pequeña y dulce
Corazón coraza
Porque eres mía
Porque no eres mía
Porque te miro y muero
Y peor que muero
Si no te miro amor
Si no te miro
Porque tú siempre existes dondequiera
Pero existes mejor donde te quiero
Porque tu boca es sangre
Y tienes frío
Tengo que amarte amor
Tengo que amarte
Aunque esta herida duela como dos
Aunque te busque y no te encuentre
Y aunque
La noche pase y yo te tenga
Y no
