1 ContributorAguacero LyricsLluvia cruel...

Era una tarde gris
Cuando empezo a caer
El aguacero aquel, que te trajo hasta mi
Era una tarde gris
Y la lluvia cayo
Y como se mojo, lo que sentia por ti

Yo vi arrastrado por las cunetas
Mis sentimientos y mis sufrimientos
Se iban alejando
Y el aguacero iba socabando mis ilusiones perdidas
Y en la cuneta el agua arrastraba una parte de mi vida

Y caminan dos amantes bajo el aguacero muy enamorados
Y yo sufriendo en silencio...
Por que no estas a mi lado, y sufro

Cada gota de lluvia caida
En una tarde gris
Se ha llevado un poco de tu amor

Debajo del aguacero
Pero las lagrimas no se notan
Y mi corazon se muere...
Lentamente... gota a gota

En una tarde gris
Se ha llevado un poco de tu amor

Oyeme Jerry... El aguacero
¿Que pasa Charlie?
¿Que esta cayendo?
Es un diluvio
Gota a gota trae recuerdos de su amor
¡Y es cuando la lluvia cae !

...¡Agua!!!!

Eres lluvia que me causa penas... y dolores
La Lluvia que cae del cielo
La que cae a borbotones... y me mata

Cada gota de lluvia caida
En una tarde gris
Se ha llevado un poco de tu amor

Es que el cielo se esta nublando
Tambien mi vista se nubla
Y yo no se si es la lluvia
Ó soy yo el que estoy llorando.. por ella
