Yolanda
Robert Wyatt · Box Set [2009]
Quisiera fuera una declaraciÃ?³n de amor
RomÃ?¡ntica sin reparar en formas tales
Que pongan freno a lo que siento ahora a raudales
Te amo â?? te amo â?? eternamente te amo
Si me faltaras no voy a morirme
Si he de morir quiero que sea contigo
Mi soledad se siente acompaÃ?±ada
Por eso a veces sÃ?© que necesito
Tu mano â?? tu mano â?? eternamente tu mano
Cuando te vi sabÃ?a que era cierto
Ese temor de hallarme descubierto
Tu me desnudas con siete razones
Me abres el pecho siempre que me colmas
De amores â?? de amores â?? eternamente de amores
Si alguna vez me siento derrotado
Renuncio a ver el sol cada maÃ?±ana
Rezando el credo que me has enseÃ?±ado
Miro tu cara y digo en la ventana
Yolanda â?? Yolanda â?? eternamente Yolanda
Yolanda â?? eternamente Yolanda
