Cubano Soy
Miguel Enriquez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me lancé a la mar
Sin imaginar tormentas
Cómo iba a pensar
Si en la barca estaba mi esperanza
Y aunque fue muy fuerte la marea
No perdí jamás mis fuerzas
Les di lo mejor de mi
Y el tiempo me ha dejado la experiencia

Amé cuanto pude amar
Gozé de todo en abundancia
La vida yo disfruté
Y nunca me he negado nada
Soy alguien que aprendió a vivir
De tal manera y sin misterios
Preciso de un instante para amar
Y olvido lo que tengo que olvidar
Fue mejor así nunca me reprocho nada
Tengo un corazón
Con rostro de ilusiones que me embriagan
Sueños que iluminan mis sentidos
Fuerzas para construir castillos
Soy como quise ser
Y nadie me controla el alma
Amé cuanto pude amar
Gozé de todo en abundancia
La vida yo disfruté
Y nunca me he negado nada
Soy alguien que aprendió a vivir
De tal manera y sin misterios
Preciso de un instante para amar
Y olvido lo que tengo que olvidar
Amé cuanto pude amar
Gozé de todo en abundancia
La vida yo disfruté
Y nunca me he negado nada
Soy alguien que aprendió a vivir
De tal manera y sin misterios
Preciso de un instante para amar

Y olvido lo que tengo que olvidar
Ah, ah, ah, ah
