Olimpo Cárdenas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Presa en mis brazos
Para siempre mia
Pero nunca soñe que de perderte
Que a otro mortal la dicha sonreia
Soñe a mi lado para siempre verte
Siendo tu unico dueño
Vida mia.
Mas la suerte, nuevos tormentos
Para mi tenia
Soñe que de tus labios dulcemente
Me diste tus palabras candorosas
Hablandome de amor
Eternamente...
Pero todo esto en vano
Solo ha sido. .
Un sueño, la pasion
Que me destroza
Al ver que para siempre
Te he pedido
Soñe que de tus labios
Dulcementeme diste tus
Palabras candorosas
Hablandome de amor eternamente
Pero todo esto en vano
Solo ha sido
Un sueño la pasion
Que me destroza
Al ver que para siempre
Te he perdido. .
