Rebecca
Mijares Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

ella sabe que el pasado,
ya me a hecho mucho dano,
una espina me a quedado,
y al amor lo a puesto aun lado,
va luchando con la vida,
nunca la veras vencida,
ella sabe lo que quiere,
mirala,mirala

por las calles va rebeca,
va buscando su destino,
pero no se a dado cuenta,
que por ella yo suspiro,

que te quiero esta muy claro,
a rebeca yo te pido
vida no lo pienses tanto
ven y quedate con migo

(and then repeat the following)
