Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que ya no aguanto lo que traigo aquí en mi corazón
Me gustas tanto me enloqueces y no lo puedo ya ocultar
En todos lados te apareces como ilusión en mi mirar
Es un secreto que tan solo quiero compartir
Con esos ojos que le han dado luz a mi vivir
Y en esta noche no hay mas luna que como tu una lumbre mas
Te quiero, te quiero, se oye en mi pecho
Es el grande amor, que me has hecho
Latido ha latido te siento conmigo
Yo quiero ser mas que tu amigo
Es un secreto que tan solo quiero compartir
Con esos ojos que le han dado luz a mi vivir
Y en esta noche no hay mas luna que como tu una lumbre mas
En mi alma crece una fortuna por tanta dicha que me das
Te quiero, te quiero, se oye en mi pecho
Es el grande amor, que me has hecho
Latido ha latido te siento conmigo
Yo quiero ser mas que tu amigo
