Casas viejas
Oscar Agudelo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Que hiciste de mi vida
Que fue de tu pasión
Dejaste una herida aquí en mi corazón

Que fue de aquellas horas
Tan llenas de alegría

Cuando tu suspirabas
Cuando yo sonreía

Aquellas horas juntitos que pasamos
Aquellos besos tan dulces al partir
Son cosas viejas quizás ni nos amamos
Quizás si entonces yo no sabía sufrir

Que hiciste de mi vida
Que fue de tu pasión
Dejaste una herida aquí en mi corazón
Que fue de aquellas horas
Tan llenas de alegría

Cuando tu suspirabas
Cuando yo sonreía

Aquellas horas juntitos que pasamos
Aquellos besos tan dulces al partir
Son cosas viejas quizás ni nos amamos
Quizás si entonces yo no sabía sufrir

Que hiciste de mi vida
Que fue de tu pasión
Dejaste una herida aquí en mi corazón




Que fue de aquellas horas
Tan llenas de alegría
