Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que grande se va a la mar
Si no llena el llanto mío
Grande no ha de estar
Que triste susurra el viento
parece llorar
Si él escucha mi lamento como triste no ha de estar
Río Río devolvedme el amor mío
Que grande se va a la mar
Si no llena el llanto mío
Grande no ha de estar
Río Río devolvedme el amor mío
¡¡¡Río Río devolvedme el amor mío!!!
