Amaneció bajo las alas de la muerte (de la muerte)
Aquellos brazos de hombre que la aprietan fuerte (fuerte)
Todavía le late el alma, el corazón no lo siente (no lo siente)
Amaneció bajo las alas de la muerte
Y vuela, vuela, vuela

Angelito, vuela
Que ya no me quedan
Muchas horas de vida desde tu partida
Angelito, vuela
Angelito, vuela
Que tampoco te quedan
Muchas horas de vida
Marqué tu partida, angelito

Amaneció bajo las alas de la muerte (de la muerte)
Aquellos brazos de hombre que la aprietan fuerte (fuerte)
Todavía le late el alma, el corazón no lo siente (no lo siente)
Amaneció bajo las alas de la muerte
Y vuela, vuela, vuela

Angelito, vuela
Que ya no me quedan
Muchas horas de vida desde tu partida
Angelito, vuela
Angelito, vuela
Que tampoco te quedan
Muchas horas de vida
Marqué tu partida, angelito

Sorprendio en la cama de un extraño
Jugando a quererse
Nunca pensó que la venganza a un desengaño
La hicieran perderse
Tal vez fueron las copas, el ambiente o tanta gente
O aquella excusa frecuente
O aquel refran de que la vida es sola una
Y hay que vivir el presente

Qué engaño, dos extraños jugando a quererse
En lo oscuro el amor no puede verse
Es que tengas la vida de frente
Es morir o détente, detente

Qué engaño, dos extraños jugando a quererse
En lo oscuro el amor no puede verse
Es que tengas la vida de frente
Es morir o détente, detente

De nada vale llorar
Tan solo queda volar
Solo expande tus alas
Coje vuelo y no vuelvas más

De nada vale llorar
Tan solo queda volar
Solo expande tus alas
Coge vuelo y no vuelvas más
Y vuela, vuela
Y vuela, vuela

Vuela
Angelito, vuela
Que ya no me quedan
Muchas horas de vida desde tu partida
Angelito, vuela
Angelito, vuela
Que tampoco te quedan
Muchas horas de vida
Marqué tu partida, angelito
Vuela

Estos es una experencia de dos enamorados
De dos soñadores
De dos amantes
Que permitieron que tan solo en un minuto de su vida
Decidieron dentro de la misma
Irónico el momento
En que el amor, se convierte en muerte
Que descansen en paz
Vive la vida minuto a minuto
Y encontrarás en cada uno de ellos
Un motivo por el cual conducirte
En la forma correcta
Te lo aseguro
