Ay Amor
Victor Manuel & Ana Belen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay, amor que despierta las piedras
Ay de aquel que no te sienta alrededor.
Ay, amor que nos abres las puertas.
Ay, amor tan necesario como el sol.
Cuando llamas estoy,
a la hora que tú digas voy.

Tantas veces nos quitas la pena

como tantas es amargo tu sabor.
Ay, amor del jardín yerba buena
como espina puede ser el desamor.
Cuando llamas estoy,
a la hora que tú digas voy.

Ay, amor que derriba fronteras
ay, amor que despierta las piedras.

Si fueras posible amarrar
tenerte siempre cerca, poderte controlar.
Saber cada paso que das
si sales o si entras, si vienes o si vas
las narices enseñar.

Ay, amor como inmenso es el mar.
Es amor quien altera las venas
como inventa las mareas o la flor.
Ay, amor que nos tienes en vela
why a quien duerme se le para hasta el reloj.
Cuando llamas estoy,
a la hora que tú digas voy.

Ay, amor como polvo de estrellas
ay, amor que derribas fronteras.
Si fueras posible amarrar
tenerte siempre cerca, poderte controlar.
Saber cada paso que das
si sales o si entras, si vienes o si vas
las narices enseñar.

Ay amor como inmenso es el mar..

Ay amor que derribas fronteras
Ay amor que despierta las piedras
