Destino
Pancho Barraza Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dios mío
Quiero hablar contigo
Por favor

Destino, quiero hablar contigo
Estoy al borde del suicidio
Dame una respuesta
Dame una esperanza

Y dime si es que volveré a verla

Me muero por mirarla
Mi mente, cuerpo y alma
Se mueren por besar sus labios
Tú eres el presente y el futuro
Destino, dime si es que va a volver

Oh, dame una razón para olvidarla
Oh, dame motivos para no amarla
Porque estoy sufriendo mucho
Ella es todo mi mundo
Sin ella yo soy nada

Destino, crúzala por mi camino
De todos modos, no voy a olvidarla porque
Tú sabes que la amo
Sabes cuánto la extraño
Sabes que me hace falta

Oh, dame una razón para olvidarla
Oh, dame motivos para no amarla porque
Estoy sufriendo mucho
Ella es todo mi mundo
Sin ella yo soy nada

Destino, crúzala por mi camino
De todos modos, no voy a olvidarla porque
Tú sabes que la amo

Sabes cuánto la extraño
Sabes que me hace falta
