Perdoname
Vicente Montano Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Estaba mi alma triste y cansada de vivir,
Le di yo rienda suelta a mi queja sobre mí;
Clamé con amargura en la angustia del alma,
Yo me sentí culpable, reconocí mis faltas.
Vagué por muchos pueblos, atravesé ciudades
Hastiado de la vida cansado regresé.
Dios ya no me condenes, te necesito tanto,
Reconozco mis culpas Señor perdóname.

Que carcome el alma, me quebranta mis huesos.
Por eso vengo a ti, perdóname Señor, Yo me siento
Culpable.

Para poder vivir en este mundo vil el resto de mi vida,
Y pueda yo saber, también pueda entender que tu
Me ha perdonado.
Melodía

(Letra original Dueto Moreno)
Arreglos (Vicente Montaño)
