Le Deseo
Merche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
nos encontramos y sirgieron las miradas.
Los tres sonreimos y hablando la noche se hizo día
sin quererlo me volvi a enamorar.
Le deseo, le deseo tanto que me faltan fuerzas
para olvidarle y aceptar que quiere a ella
Te deseo tanto amor
Hoy le visto pasar, iba con maria caminando
se les veia tan felices, tan unidos.
Que quise gritar, no, no, como me duele verlos besarse
es mi mejor amiga y el niño de mi amor.
Le deseo, le deseo tanto que me faltan fuerzas
para olvidarle y aceptar que quiere a ella
Te deseo tanto amor
Y como me hace sufrir, maldigo ese amor que hay en mi
que ni puedo soñar con su boca,
lucharia si estuviera con otra.
