El Mar
Nelson Y Sus Estrellas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

El mar me deja desolado en mi tristeza
Cuando comparo,que la vida es como el mar
Y ahora me dice que yo tengo tu cariño
Luego me dice que no te vuelvo a besar
El mar me dice que tu a veces me recuerdas
Que hay un destino entre los dos que continuar
Y yo no quiero que me quite tu cariño
Y yo no quiero que me vayas a olvidar

El mar me dice,que tu eres mía
Pero no dice si volverás

El mar me dice que el amor es para siempre
Que allá en la noche de la vida entenderás
Y cuando mires al pasado,te sorprende
Quien fue tu amor va junto a ti en la eternidad





El mar me dice,que tu eres mía
Pero no dice si volverás
