Merche Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No ha podido olvidar mi corazón,
aquellos ojos tristes
soñadores que yo amé.

La dejé por conquistar, una ilusión
y perdí su rastro
y ahora sé que es ella
todo lo que yo buscaba.

Y ahora estoy aquí
buscándola de nuevo y ya no está
se fue.

Tal vez usted la ha visto
dígale.
que yo siempre la adoré
y que nunca la olvidé
que mi vida es un desierto
y muero yo de sed.

Y dígale tambien
que sólo junto a ella puedo respirar.
No hay brillo en las estrellas
ya ni el sol me calienta.
y estoy muy solo aquí
no sé a dónde fue
por favor dígale usted.

Fueron tantos los momentos que la amé,
que siento sus caricias
y su olor está en mi piel
cada noche la abrazaba junto a mí
la cubría de besos
y enre mil caricias
la llevaba a la locura.

Y ahora estoy aquí
buscándola de nuevo y ya no está
se fue.

Tal vez usted la ha visto
dígale...
que yo siempre la adoré
y que nunca la olvidé
que mi vida es un desierto
y muero yo de sed.

Ydígale tambien
que sólo junto a ella puedo respirar
no hay brillo en las estrellas
ya ni el sol me calienta...
y estoy muy solo aquí
no sé que donde fue
por favor dígale usted...
