Marchita El Alma
Ana Gabriel · Joyas De Dos Siglos
mustia la faz, herido el corazn
vagando errante por camino incierto
sin esperanza ya, sin esperanza
de alcanzar su amor
Yo quise hablarle, y decirle mucho, mucho
y al intentarlo, mi labio enmudeci
nada le dije, porque nada pude
pues era de otro ay!, pues erade otro
ya su corazn
Vagando errante por camino incierto
sin esperanza ya, sin esperanza
de alcanzar su amor
Yo quise hablarle, y decirle . . .
