Destellos de algo
Patio Solar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no quiero sonar sin ritmo
y ya no se a quien citar
para no parecer aburrido,
es un temblor eterno
el que invade la lengua y las manos,
esta tarde conversamos con gestos.
Te aseguro la próxima vez será distinto,
Es un placer acercarme a ti
con liviandad
y no esperar mas que el recíproco cariño,
es la verdad.
