Gritenme Piedras Del Campo

Lyrics

Soy como el viento que corre
Alrededor de este mundo,
Anda entre muchos placeres,
Anda entre muchos placeres,
Pero no es suyo ninguno.

Soy como el pájaro en jaula,
Preso y hundido en tu amor
Aunque la jaula sea de oro
Aunque la jaula sea de oro
No deja de ser prisión.

Háblenme montes y valles,
Grítenme piedras del campo.
Cuándo me han visto en la vida
Querer como estoy queriendo,
Llorar como estoy llorando.
Morir como estoy muriendo.

A veces me siento un sol
Y el mundo me importa nada,
Luego despierto y me río,
Luego despierto y me río,
Soy mucho menos que nada.

En fin, soy en este mundo
Como la pluma en el aíre,
Sin rumbo voy por la vida,
Sin rumbo voy por la vida
Y de esó tú eres culpable.

Háblenme montes y valles...
