X Alfonso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seré la luz del tiempo, y te seguiré.
Si te pierdes estaré, si te callas yo hablaré.
Si te caes te abrazaré, si estás mal te cuidaré.
Si dejasteis de creer, seré la fe q un día no quiso volver.
Si las palabras no te ven, me tatuaré la piel.
Si te sientas correré, si no escuchas gritaré
Si no estás te encontraré, aunque dudes te amaré.
Si dejasteis de creer, no te culpo es todo lo que ves.
Si veo tus alas padecer, no te abandonaré.
Cuando el mundo no te ve, es difícil entender,
Que el amor está a tus pies, que contigo yo estaré.
Seré tu voz tu aliento, siempre te amaré.
Seré tu testamento.
Seré la luz del tiempo, y te seguiré, y te cuidaré.
Seré tu voz tu aliento, seré tu testamento, siempre te amaré.
Seré la luz del tiempo, y te cuidaré, siempre te amaré.
Seré tu voz tu aliento, ahhhahhh, seré tu testamento, aquí yo estaré.
Seré la luz del tiempo, siempre te amaré ehhhhhh.
Seré tu voz tu aliento, seré tu testamento.
Seré la luz del tiempo, y te seguiré.
