La oreja de van gohg
Puedes contar conmigo A coffee with salt. desire to cry. my world beginning to shake, I have a feeling that the end approaches. I do not want to win. now that what gives more. I am already tired to invent excuses that do not know to walk. and they will only be the good moments of yesterday that they were of both. and today only I want to believe… That you will remember the afternoons of winter by Madrid, the whole nights without sleeping. the life happened and I felt that I was going to die of love to see you hoping in my vestibule seated in the ground without thinking that you can have me. Never there was badness. only naivete. trying to make us think that the world was on our feet. when the dream comes to by me in silence I am going to construct a life to all color where we live both together. the life happened and I felt that i was going to me to die of love to see you hoping in my vestibule seated in the ground without thinking that you can have me for always. And I cannot miss you while you give the hand to my time and you go away. I feel that I want to see you and see you and think that you will remember the afternoons of winter by Madrid, the life happened and I felt that I was going to me to die of love To see you hoping in my vestibule seated in the ground without thinking that you can have me. that you will remember the afternoons of winter by Madrid , the whole nights without sleeping. to see you hoping in my vestibule seated in the ground without thinking that you can have me . that you will remember the afternoons of winter by Madrid the life goes and I die, I die by you Un café con sal. ganas de llorar. mi mundo empezando a temblar, presiento que se acerca el final. no quiero ganar. ahora eso qué más da. estoy cansada ya de inventar excusas que no saben andar. y sólo quedarán los buenos momentos de ayer que fueron de los dos. y hoy sólo quiero creer ... Que recordarás las tardes de invierno por Madrid, las noches enteras sin dormir. la vida pasaba y yo sentía que me iba a morir de amor al verte esperando en mi portal sentado en el suelo sin pensar que puedes contar conmigo. Nunca hubo maldad. sólo ingenuidad. pretendiendo hacernos creer que el mundo estaba a nuestros pies. cuando el sueño venga a por mí en silencio voy a construir una vida a todo color donde vivamos juntos los dos. y hoy sólo quiero creer... que puedes contar conmigo para siempre. Y no puedo evitar echarte de menos mientras das la mano a mi tiempo y te vas. yo siento que quiero verte y verte y pienso que recordarás las tardes de invierno por Madrid, la vida se pasa y yo me muero, me muero por ti.
