Lyrics
Tal vez en una sola frase pueda resumirles
Lo que se siente estando aquí
Mil gracias, mil gracias
Fue un momento sereno
Desprendido del tiempo
Tu mirada de fuego
Encendida en mi mal
Me estabas frenando
Por dentro y por fuera
Y tu primavera
Me hacía temblar
Fue en un cielo lejano
Una tierra caliente
Un soplo de viento
Una lluvia de abril
Un nuevo vestido
Que envuelve y que besa
Que acaricia y no pesa
Y te deja fingir
Medianoche en mi mente
Desde todos los siglos
Mediodía en tu alma
Que brindaba calor
Y una casa infinita
Y un pedazo de gloria
Así fue nuestra historia
Así fue nuestro amor
Y una música blanca
Que volaba en la arena
Y un volcán en las venas
De placer y dolor
Y una casa infinita
Y un pedazo de gloria
Así fue nuestra historia
Así fue nuestro amor
