Óscar de León Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Quisiera sólo un beso de tu boca,
para embriagarme de amor
Quisiera de tus ojos la mirada
y así mitigar mi pasión
Tú tienes un hechizo encantador
y un dulce embeleso
A mí
que me tienes loco Y es por eso que sólo vivo pensando en tí

Quisiera sólo un beso de tu boca,
para embriagarme de amor
Quisiera de tus ojos la mirada
y así mitigar mi pasión
Tú tienes un hechizo encantador
y un dulce embeleso
A mí
que me tienes loco
Y es por eso que sólo vivo pensando en tí

Cruel tormento
Dulce obsesión
Al no poder besarte
con loca pasión
Y es por eso que sólo vivo pensando en tí

Hechicera... hechicera!
Me tienes loco loco loquito mamá,
mira loquito por dentro y por fuera
Hechicera... hechicera!
Ay! Tú no me quieres a mí
porque yo siempre he vivido en una ratonera
Hechicera... hechicera!

Ay, quisiera seguir mirando
pero no no no! (mambo)
