m�go de oz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ahora que ya tú no estás aquí­
Siento que no te di
Lo que esperabas de mi
Ahora que todo terminó
A quien de mi te alejó

Yo le quisiera pedir
Que me deje sólo un dí­a más
Para poder hablar
De lo que eras para mi
Que me deje disfrutar

De tu voz, y contemplar
Tus ojos una vez más
Te escribo esta lí­neas
En papel,
Espero que donde estés

El correo llegue bien
Por aquí­ todos estamos bien
Luchamos por seguir
Como aprendimos de ti

Echo de menos
El llegar y oí­r tu voz,
Echo de menos
No tener tu apoyo, no!
No creo en el más allá,
No sé donde buscarte
Y aquí­ no estás

No creo en la eternidad,
Necesito encontrarte
Y estar en paz
Necesito terminar
Lo que un dí­a empezamos
A planear

Lo que quiero es tenerte
Y no recordar
Espera donde estés
Pues tengo que vivir
Y cuando muera iré

A charlar junto a ti
No he apreciado
Lo que he tenido,
No lo he apreciado
Hasta que lo he perdido
Y si la fortuna o el azar

Me dan la oportunidad
De volvernos a ver
Juro que jamás te ocultaré
Lo que hay dentro de mi ser
Te abriré mi corazón
Te echo de menos,

Un beso, adiós, cuí­date
No nos olvides, muy pronto,




Nos volveremos a ver
Ahora que ya tu no estás aquí­
