Tony
Spinetta y los Socios del Desierto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Que Dios te bendiga
por el resto de los días
oh Tony, permiso tu nombre está aquí
aunque no te siga
yo te siento en la armonía
oh Tony amigo
te quiero decir que aprendí
a mirar en el fin de este mar
sombra marfil
hoy yo siento que llegas a mí
a curar mi mal

Hay algo que se agita
es tu fuerza cada día
silencio, silencio entre toda la luz
ahora es primavera
yo te siento en la armonía
oh Tony querido
te quiero decir que aprendí
a mirar en el fin de este mar
sombra marfil




hoy yo siento que llegas a mí
oh Tony, sí, oh Tony, ah
