Quisiera Morir Contigo
Rocio Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y tan violento al mismo tiempo.
Este amor es tan frágil
Y tan fuerte por momentos.
Este amor tan alegre
Y tan dramático a la vez,
Que se rompe sin saber
No nos deja vivir este amor.
(estribillo)
Quisiera morir contigo,
El dia que estemos locos de amor.
Quisiera morir contigo,
Y asi no volver a odiarnos los dos,
En el momento preciso que estemos
Sintiendo dicha y dolor
Gritando de amor, gritantando
Quisiera morir contigo.
Este amor tan seguro
Y tan miedoso como un niño.
Este amor tan ardiente
Y de repente ¡ay! tan frio.
Este amor tan hierriente
Y tan romántico a la vez
Que se duerme
Y se alborota sin querer,
No nos deja vivir este amor.
