Pa' Que Sientas Lo Que Siento
Rocío Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pa' que sepas lo que siento
Te lo juro por mi madre
Que me las voy a cobrar.
Que Diosito me perdone
Este negro pensamiento
Pero es que yo ya no aguanto
Le daremos tiempo al tiempo
Ya verás si no resientes
El orgullo es siempre orgullo
Y te voy a hacer llorar.
Cuando tú me veas con otro
Ya verás lo que se siente
Ese orgullo que te cargas
Por el suelo va a rodar.
Yo creí volverme loca
Cuando todos me decían
Que el amor que tú me dabas
Era sólo falsedad.
Todavía te preguntaba
Que si ya no me querías
Al menos fueras sincero
Y dijeras la verdad.
Me jurabas por tu madre
Ese es hoy mi sentimiento,
Si a tu madre no respetas
Qué me puedo yo esperar.
Pa' que veas lo que se siente
Pa' que sientas lo que siento
Te lo juro por mi madre
Que me las voy
Que me las voy
A cobrar.
