El Día De Mi Suerte
Mimi Maura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pronto llegara, el día de mi suerte
Se que antes de mi muerte,
Seguro que mi suerte cambiara

Esperando mi suerte quede yo
Pero mi vida otro rumbo cogio
Sobreviviendo en una realidad
De la cual yo no podría ni escapara

Si el destino me vuelve a traicionar
Te juro que no puedo fracasar
Estoy cansada tanto esperar
Yo estoy segura que mi suerte llegara
Oye veras, pronto llegara.

Sufrí gran parte de mi vida ya
De mi complejo de inferioridad
Por eso no me canso de esperar
Pues un día dios a mi me ayudara
El día que eso suceda escuche usted
A todo el mundo yo le ayudare,
Porque tarde o temprano usted vera
Como el día de mi suerte llegara
Ya lo veras, pronto llegara.

Ahora me encuentro aquí en mi soledad
Pensando en que de mi vida será
No tengo sitio donde regresar

Y tampoco a nadie quiero ocupar
Si el destino me vuelve.
