Si Te Vas
sancamaleon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si te vas,
te irás sólo una vez,
para mí habrás muerto,
yo te pido que me lo hagas saber,
quiero estar despierto.
Porque si te vas
yo quiero creer
que nunca vas a volver;
dímelo y será
mucho menos cruel,
yo siempre supe perder.

Si te vas,
quiero verte partir,
saber que te has ido,
sin adioses el amar y el morir,
nunca son olvido.
Pájaro tu pie,
viento mi querer,
yo te puedo comprender,
sin saber por qué
no te podrás ir,
yo te quiero despedir.

Y no será por eso
que estemos separados,
aunque no te marcharas
lo nuestro está terminado.
Pero si te vas,
yo quiero creer
que nunca vas a volver.

Si te vas,
con amor o sin él,
debes irte ahora,*
tus nostalgias y tus fugas de ayer,
ya no me enamoran.
Mírate vivir
sangre de gorrión,
te ha faltado corazón.
Yo bien puedo ser,
si te quieres ir,
el que te ayude a partir.

Si te vas,
no te vayas así,
llévate tu vida,
si no puedes olvidarme y partir
volarás herida.
Vete sin dolor,
debes comprender
que soy el mismo de ayer.
No hay mejor amor




que el que ya pasó,
se siente al decir adiós.
