No pretendo ser la gota
Que derrama tu silencio
Ni pretendo la nota que
Se escapa en tu lamento

No pretendo ser la huella
Que se deja en tu camino
Ni pretendo ser aquel (aquella)
Que se cruza en tu destino

Solo quiero descubrirme
Tras la luz de tu sonrisa
Ser el valsamo que alivia
Tus tristezas en la vida

Solo quiero ser la calma
Que se escurre en tu desvelo
Ser el sueño en que descansa
La razón de tus anhelos

Simplemente es el amor
Cuando a roto sus cadenas
Para darte el corazon
No pretendo ser tu dueño

No pretendo ser la llama
Donde enciendes tus pasiones
Ni pretendo ser la espada
Que atraviese tus errores

No pretendo ser el aire
Que respiras en la noche
Ni pretendo ser la carne
Que destila tus derroches

Solo quiero ser la mano
Que se tiene en el quebranto
Ser un poco ese remanzo
Donde muere el desengaño

Solo quiero ser la estrella
Que se engarza en tu mirada
La caricia que se entrega
Sin razón y sin palabras

Simplemente es el amor
Que a encontrado su camino
Para darte una ilusión
No pretendo hacerte miá

Simplemente es el amor
Cuando a roto sus cadenas
Para darte el corazon
No pretendo ser tu dueño

Solo quiero ser la mano
Que se tiene en el quebranto
Ser un poco ese remanzo
Donde muere el desengaño

Solo quiero ser la estrella
Que se engarza en tu mirada
La caricia que se entrega
Sin razón y sin palabras

Simplemente es el amor
Que a encontrado su camino
Para darte una ilusión
No pretendo hacerte miá

Simplemente es el amor
Cuando a roto sus cadenas
Para darte el corazon
No pretendo ser tu dueño

Simplemente es el amor
