Lailarailaira
lailarailaira
lailaraaaaaaia

Encuentro mil razones para amarla
Y a mi me sobras todas con mirarla
Si su pelo huele a fresca hiervabuena
Se me quitan toa´ la´ penas

Y me hace resucitar

No se por que le extraña que la quiera
Si siempre para mi ella es la primera
La primera a quien recuerdo cada noche
Y esperando a que me roce
Me duermo una vez mas

Ya ves,yo me consuelo con saber
Que en unos dias le vuelvo a ver
Y estare contigo, oh!

Lo se,es muy dificil seguir asi
Todos mis sueños los cumplo por ti
Para que estes conmigo, oh!oh!

Lailarailaira

Gente que la quiere hay de sobra
Por eso ella nunca estara sola
Aunque yo la necesite mas que a nadie
A mi me llevan otros aires
Que me alejaran de aqui

Me guardo tantas cosas que no cuento
Y cuanto mas me duele ma´ adentro
Tan adentro de mi cuerpo que no hay ganas
Ni tiempo para contarlas
Yo quiero hacertte feliz

Ya ves,yo me consuelo con saber

Todos mis sueños los cumplo porti
Para que estes conmigo, oh!oh!
