Contigo en la distancia
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En que pueda olvidarme de ti
La vida parece distinta
Cuando tu no estas junto a mi
No hay bella melodía
En que no surjas tu,
Y no quiero escucharla
Es que te has convertido
En parte de mi alma
Ya nada me consuela
Si tu no estas también
Mas allá de tus labios
Del Sol y las estrellas
Contigo en la distancia
Amado mio estoy
