Serenata Huasteca
Tania Libertad Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Canto al pie de tu ventana
pa´que sepas que te quiero
tú ami no me quieres nada
pero yo por ti me muero.
Dicen que ando muy errado
que despierte de mi sueño,
pero estan equivocados
por que yo he de ser tu dueño

que voy a hacer, si de veras te quiero;
ya te adoré y olvidarte no puedo.

dicen que pa´conseguirte
necesito una fortuna;
que debo bajarte el cielo
las estrellas y la luna.
Yo no bajare la luna
nilas estrellas tampoco
y auinque no tengo fortuna
me querras poquito a poco

Yo se que hay muchas mujeres
y que sobra quien me quiera
pero ninguna me importa:
solo, pienso en ti morena.
Mi corazon te ha escogido
y llorar no quiero verlo

ya el pobre mucho ha sufrido
ora tienes que quererlo
