Mis Manos en tu Cintura
Salvatore Adamo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No has de sufrir
si escuchas de mis quince años el cantar
Y ausente estes de las cosas que
mi adolescencia fue a soñar
Capricho fue que sin querer
ya preparaba este amor
Por eso así yo te lo cuento
y te lo canto a media voz
Por eso así yo te lo cuento
y te lo canto a media voz

Y mis manos en tu cintura
pero mírame con dulzor
porque tendrás la aventura
de ser tu mi mejor canción

En chicas que yo conocí
ya un algo tuyo yo busqué
Y cuando al fin yo te hallé
en tu besar ya pude comprender
que eras tú la fábula
que iluminaba mi soñar
Mas este amor es una pena
que siendo hermoso tenga un final
Mas este amor es una pena
que siendo hermoso tenga un final

Y mis manos en tu cintura
pero mírame con dulzor
porque tendrás la aventura
de ser tu mi mejor canción

Y mis manos en tu cintura
pero mírame con dulzor




porque tendrás la aventura
de ser tu mi mejor canción
