Show of Hands Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
pon éste disco alguna vez,
cuando ya, te vayas corazón de aquí
y yo también escucharé nuestra canción alguna vez
Debes oír, escúchame
pon éste disco alguna vez,
sentirás que siempre estoy más cerca de ti,
piensa en mi, y yo a ti, nunca jamás olvidare
Un amor así, tiene gusto a ceniza,
pero el nuestro es, el mejor de todo amor,
a gran decepción de un gran dolor,
pero la felicidad, llega cuando todo ya paso,
piensa en mi amor...
Debes oír, escúchame
pon éste disco alguna vez,
cuando ya, te vayas corazón de aquí
y yo también escucharé nuestra canción alguna vez
Debes oír, escúchame
pon éste disco alguna vez,
sentirás que siempre estoy más cerca de ti,
y vivirás, y viviré, un bello sueño de papel
piensa en mi, y yo a ti, nunca jamás olvidare...
Conocimos ya, la fortuna y la tormenta,
y la soledad una prueba más será,
nuestro amor es una realidad siempre existirá,
nos separa el tiempo pero en fin, volverás a mi...
Debes oír, escúchame
pon éste disco alguna vez,
cuando ya, te vayas corazón de aquí
y yo también escucharé nuestra canción alguna vez
Escúchame...
