VOy al ciielo y veO estrellas cuandO nO hay

Yo por tii
AcariciiandO la luna
BebiendO de la lluvia
Castigando la noche
PersiigiendO los dias
AcariciiandO la luna
BebiendO de la lluvia
Castigando la noche
PersiigiendO los dias
This song is an expression of intense love and devotion towards someone. The singer goes to great lengths to show how much they care for this person, including doing things that seem impossible or unlikely. The first verse speaks to the extent of their devotion- they see stars even when there are none, just because of their love for this person. The second verse has more examples of the extreme actions they would take, such as erasing time and sleeping in the clouds. The repeated chorus serves as a reaffirmation of the singer's commitment to their loved one.
One interesting fact about this song is that it was originally released in 2005 in Volovan's second album, "Monitor." However, it became more popular after being included in the soundtrack of the Mexican telenovela "Las Tontas No Van al Cielo" in 2008. Another interesting fact is that the song's music video was directed by Diego Luna, a well-known Mexican actor and director. Additionally, the song has been covered by several artists, including Canadian singer-songwriter Alex Cuba.
