Platicando Con Tu Retrato
Rigo Tovar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

El día que te fuiste de mi lado
Solito me quedé, llorando a mares
No pude retenerte por mi orgullo
Dejé que te marcharás sola y triste

Mi único consuelo, tu retrato
El cual tome en mis manos, lentamente
Al verlo casí me lo como a besos
Que a solas ya en silencio, le decíaaa

Ay, amor! Ay, amor!
Ay, amor! Porqué te fuiste de mi lado
Vuelve a mí, ven amí
Vuelve a mí que espero tu regreso

...No sé porqué Dios hizo figuras
Tan hermosas
En forma de mujer que lastiman tanto...
Ay, NO SÉ PORQUÉ!

Ay, amor! Ay, amor!
Ay, amor! Porqué te fuiste de mi lado
Vuelve a mí,
Ven a mí,
VUELVE A Mí QUE ESPERO TU REGRESO

Ay, amor! Ay, amor!
Vuelve a mí, dulce bien




Vuelve a mí, dulce bien
Ven a mí, vuelve yaaa...
