Quisiera y No Puedo
Nelson Henriquez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tantas caleñas tan lindas que hay
Y yo no sé a quién mirar
Tanta boquita para besar
Y yo no sé a quién llamar

Las caleñas con su caminar me hacen delirar
Son rosas de un jardín de amor que alguien plantó
Las caleñas con su caminar me hacen delirar
Son rosas de un jardín de amor que alguien plantó

Tantas caleñas tan lindas que hay
Y yo no sé a quién mirar
Tanta boquita para besar
Y yo no sé a quién llamar

Las caleñas con su caminar me hacen delirar
Son rosas de un jardín de amor que alguien plantó
Las caleñas con su caminar me hacen delirar
Son rosas de un jardín de amor que alguien plantó

Si yo fuera un pajarito
No pensaria en volar
Ni en vivir en tu nidito
Alla en mi soledad

Quisiera ser pajarito
Quisiera y no quisiera
Quisiera hundir el vuelo
Quisiera y no quisiera
Por besar en tu boquita
Quisiera y no quisiera
Ay lástima que no puedo
Qusiera y no quisiera

En la palma de mi mano
Yo quisiera regalarte
Para cuando estes ausente
Alzar la mano y besarte

Si yo fuera un pajarito
Quisiera y no quisiera
Si un pajarito yo fuera
Quisiera y no quisiera
Te metiera en tus sueñitos
Quisiera y no quisiera




Como un pañuelito e seda
Quisiera y no quisiera
