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
