Se que te vas
Rigo Tovar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoy que te vas
Mis sueños de amor, mi fe y mis anhelos
Te los llevas

Sé que te vas y no quieres volver a mirarme
Hoy me condenan tus labios por fin a dejarme
Todo lo que amé, lo que yo soñé, ¿y para qué?
Cuando estés lejos y sola te encuentres
Y has de querer con el ansia en tu pecho olvidarme
Entonces, verás que un amor así no es tan fácil olvidar

Yo, ¿para qué voy a negar?
Si no puedo arrancarte de mi alma
Y, ¿para qué voy a llorar?
Si no puedo evitar que te marches

Yo, ¿para qué voy a negar?
Si no puedo arrancarte de mi alma
Y, ¿para qué voy a llorar?
Si no puedo evitar que te marches





Sé que te vas y no quieres volver a mirarme
Hoy me condenan tus labios por fin a dejar-
