Dame (Roger Zayas y Mariela Mercado)

Juan Luis Guerra · Mudanza y Acarreo [1895]

Quiero darte más de mi vida más de mi cuerpo. ¡uh!



Dame de tu vida más

dame lo que quieras dar

dame, no quiero perder

el calor de tu cariño

para renacer, uh...



Por que yo te quiero tanto

sin ti mi vida es llanto...



Dame, oh, dame; de tu boca más

dame lo que quieras dar

dame la oportunidad

déjame sentir tu cuerpo

hasta madrugar, uh...



Por que yo te quiero tanto sin ti mi vida es llanto...



Dame de tu vida más

dame lo que quieras dar

dame lo que hay en ti

quiero que me quieras, negro

quiero mas de ti, uh...



Por que yo te quiero tanto

sin ti mi vida es llanto..
