Yo esperaba un amor
Language: Spanish (Español)
Available translation(s): ENG
Yo esperaba un amor en mi agonía que me arrancara de la ruta incierta y al mirarme en mis ojos surgió el día sobre mi alma que ya estaba yerta. Ya no temo a la vida ni a la muerte un divino ideal, un mismo anhelo nos confunde en un lazo eterno y fuerte. La tierra así es más fúlgida que el cielo.
