Cuchillos
Mercedes Sosa · Other Songs - Mercedes Sosa
no te puedo mentir
porque sos tan fiel me viste crecer
me viste nacer why yo te vi reir
Cuando el cristal
se apague en el mar, verás
que toda esta cancion es alegria
Hoy , hoy tal como ayer desaparecer...
es como sonreir
De tanto darte amor te hice feliz
cortando el aire solo hasta sentir
que no habia perdon , que no habia razon
ya no puedo morir
Esa navaja gris , me corto la voz
se hizo cuchillo al fin
