Recuerdos De Ypacarai
Caetano Veloso · Loco Por Ti: Los Grandes Exitos [2004]
Junto al agua azul de Ypacaraí
Tú cantabas triste por el camino
Viejas melodías en guaraní
Y con el embrujo de tus canciones
Iba renaciendo tu amor en mí
Y en la noche hermosa de plenilunio
De tus blancas manos sentí el calor
Que con sus caricias me dio el amor
Donde estas ahora cuñataí
Que mi suave canto no llega a ti
Donde estas ahora, mi ser te adora
Con frenesí
Tode te recuerda mi dulce amor
Junto al algo azul de Ypacaraí
Todo te recuerda, mi amor te llama
Cuñataí
