Perfidia
Vero Pérez & Jorge Villanueva Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Canto, pues ya no puedo sollozar
Sólo, temblando de ansiedad estoy
Todos, me miran y se van.
Mujer si puedes tu con Dios hablar
Pregúntale si yo alguna vez t dejado de adorar
Mi alma espejo de mi corazón
Te buscado donde quiera que yo voy
Y no te puedo hallar
Para que quiero otros besos
Si tus labios no me quieren ya besar
Y tu quien sabe por donde andarás
Quien sabe que aventuras tu tendrás
Que lejos estas de mi //.
