Valiente
Pedro Capo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Recostado en la hojarasca, a la orillita del río
Todito mi amor te extraña, ahora que ya te has ido
Aquí sin tu amor me muero, solito y en el olvido
Te quiero aunque ya no quiero, pa que te habré conocido

Ay amor, si supieras, si supieras, cuantas noches he pasado
Esperando que volvieras
Ay amor, quien se va no sufre tanto
Sufre más el que se queda, esperando, esperando

Los árboles y cocuyos
Supieron que te quería
La noche que fui tan tuyo
La noche que fuiste mía

Ay amor, si supieras, si supieras, cuantas noches he pasado
Esperando que volvieras




Ay amor, quien se va no sufre tanto
Sufre más el que se queda, esperando, esperando
