Amor De Mi Vida
Raulín Rodríguez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Amor de mi vida
Tu sabes que te amo
Estoy perdido
No se ni lo que hago
Me estoy muriendo
Para ti no es extraño
Daria lo que yo no tengo, por tenerte aqui a mi lado
Mira que tengo

El alma destrosada
Porque sin ti
Mi vida no es nada
Mejor prefiero
Estar mil veces muerto
Antes de saber que a otro
Tu le entergarias tu cuerpo

Coro:
Cariño mio
No se si creerte
Soy inocente
Y tengo miedo de ti

Cariño mio
No se si creerte
Soy inocente
Y tengo miedo de ti

Amor de mi vida
De mi no tengas miedo
Que yo te amo
Y contigo soy sinsero
Son cinco años
Llevando este tormento
Esperando de que un dia
Tu me des amor eterno
Mira que tengo
El alma destrosada
Porque sin ti
Mi vida no es nada
Mejor prefiero
Estar mil veces muerto
Antes de saber que a otro
Tu le entergarias tu cuerpo

Coro:
Cariño mio
No se si creerte
Soy inocente
Y tengo miedo de ti

Cariño mio
No se si creerte

Soy inocente
Y tengo miedo de ti
