Cuatro Caminos
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es imposible que yo me vaya
Por donde quiera que voy te miro
Y ando con otra y por ti suspiro
Es imposible que todo acabe
Yo sin tus besos me arranco el alma
Si ando en mi juicio no estoy contento
Cuatro caminos hay en mi vida
Cual de los cuatro será el mejor
Esta canción la debes tocar
En ritmo de ranchera
Tu que me viste llorar de angustia
Dime paloma por cual me voy
Tu que juraste que amor del bueno
Solo en tus brazos lo encontraría
Ya no te acuerdas cuando dijiste
Yo que era tuyo y tu que eras mía
Si es que te marchas paloma blanca
Alza tu vuelo poquito a poco
Llévate mi alma bajo tus alas
Y dime adiós a pesar de todo
Cuatro caminos hay en mi vida
Cual de los cuatro será el mejor
Tu que me viste llorar de angustia
Dime paloma por cual me voy
