Célia
Raly Barrionuevo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hablamos de pasión,
le pregunte su nombre
y muchas cosas mas.
El Lunes fue un fracaso
no vino ya lo se,
porque al otro Domingo
Así comienza nuestro amor en primavera,
cundo las rosas del rosal son como Celia.
Ahora solo me pregunto...
quizás te quiera
y no hago mas que repetir tu nombre Celia.
Entramos juntos a la iglesia por vez primera
para que Dios desde el altar nos bendijera.
Ahora el tiempo lo dirá, que yo con Celia
no nos separaremos mas, que Dios no quiera.
