Tengo aquí bajo el vestido, bien escondiditos tus besos malditos.
Mariposas que al alba, de regreso a casa, se venían conmigo.
Yo tengo aquí bajo la cama cada madrugada que la deshicimos, tengo tantas cosas y ninguna está en su sitio.
Tengo aquí dentro de un vaso, la primera ola de aquella mañana.
Tengo en uno de mis rizos el ritmo del tango que siempre bailabas.
Yo tengo escrito en un suspiro aquellas palabras que nunca dijimos, tengo tantas cosas y ninguna está en su sitio.
Despues de tí entendí, que el tiempo no hare amigos, que corto fue el amor y que largo el olvido.
Seré tu luz, seré un disfraz, una farola que se encienda al pasar.
Cualquier mariposa, la estrella polar, que viene sola y muy solita se va.
Seré el sabor, de un beso en el mar, un viejo proverbio sobre como olvidar: seré Inmortal, porque yo soy tu destino.
Tengo aquí bajo mi almohada tu fotografía frente a Santa Clara.
Dice mas que mil palabras y yo le contesto que también te amaba.
Yo tengo abierta la ventana porque así se escapa el tiempo sin verte, tengo tantas cosas, tengo todas en mi mente.
Despues de tí entendí, que el tiempo no hare amigos, que corto fue el amor y que largo el olvido.
Seré tu luz, seré un disfraz, una farola que se encienda al pasar.
Cualquier mariposa, la estrella polar, que viene sola y muy solita se va.
Seré el sabor, de un beso en el mar, un viejo proverbio sobre como olvidar: seré Inmortal...
Seré ese lunar, que adorne tu piel.
Una paloma cerca de donde estés, un golpe de suerte, el café de las tres, alguna mirada que te haga enloquecer.
Seré la voz, que avise en el tren, un presentimiento de que todo irá bien: seré Inmortal, uooh ooh..
Seré Inmortal, uooh oh oh...
Seré Inmortal, porque yo soy tu destino.
Uuuhh...sha la la
Uuuhh...sha la la
Uuuh..
