Que triste fue decirnos adiós Cuando nos adorábamos más Hasta la golondrina emigró Presagiando el final Que triste luce todo sin ti Los mares de las playas se van Se tiñen los colores de gris Hoy todo es soledad No se si vuelva a verte después No se que de mi vida será Sin el lucero azul de tú ser Que no me alumbra ya Hoy quiero saborear mi dolor No pido compasión ni piedad La historia de este amor se escribió Para la eternidad El triste todos dicen que soy Que siempre estoy hablando de ti No saben que pensando en tú amor En tú amor he podido ayudarme a vivir He podido ayudar a vivir Hoy quiero saborear mi dolor No pido compasión ni piedad La historia de este amor se escribió Para la eternidad
