TE EXTRAÑO

     Te extraño,

     Como la lluvia en verano

     Te extraño,

     Como el sol en el invierno.

     Si estuvieras aquí

     Y escuchar tu voz dulce llamándome,

     Tu voz dulce susurrándome,

      "Te amo".

     Los días se hacen eternos

     Preguntándome cuándo vendrás,

     Las horas pasan lentas

     Aumentando mi agonía

     Sólo tu recuerdo me sustenta,

     Sólo me queda creer

     Que te veré en este amanecer

     Que te veré en este amanecer,

     Vida mía

     Vida mía...
