Por Mal Camino
Rigo Tovar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoy que te alejas de mí
Para formar nueva vida
Y aunque lloro tu partida
Triste te vengo a decir

Ya te vas por mal camino corazón
A cumplir con tu destino es la razón
Y aunque mucho he de extrañarte
Nada más te digo adiós

Si la vida tus ensueños marchitó
Y nos separó a los dos
En mis ansías de besarte
Me conformo con mirarte
Y no más te digo adiós

Ya te vas por mal camino corazón
A cumplir con tu destino es la razón
Y aunque mucho he de extrañarte
Nada más te digo adiós

Si la vida tus ensueños marchitó
Y nos separó a los dos
En mis ansías de besarte




Me conformo con mirarte
Y no más te digo adiós
