Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cuando te vi aquella tarde en primavera.
Parece que fue ayer,
cuando las manos te tomé por vez primera.
Soy tan feliz
de haber vivido junto a ti por tantos años.
Soy tan feliz
Parece que fue ayer,
eras mi novia y te llevaba de mi brazo.
Parece que fue ayer,
cuando dormido yo soñaba en tu regazo.
Soy tan feliz
pues sigues siendo de mi vida la fragancia,
en nuestro amor nunca ha existido la distancia,
que Dios te guarde por hacerme tan feliz.
