Lyrics

Español

Reloj no marques las horas por que voy a enloquecer ella se ira para siempre cuando amanesca otra vez No mas nos queda esta noche para vivir nuestro amor y tu tic tac me recuerda mi irremediable dolor Reloj deten tu camino por que mi vida se apaga ella es la estrella que alumbra mi ser yo sin su amor no soy nada Deten el tiempo en tus manos haz esta noche perpetua para que nunca se valla de mi para que nunca amanesca Reloj deten tu camino por que mi vida se apaga ella es la estrella que alumbra mi ser yo sin su amor no soy nada Deten el tiempo en tus manos haz esta noche perpetua para que nunca se valla de mi para que nunca amanesca

English · machine translation

Clock don't mark the hours because I'm going to go crazy she'll be gone forever When I love again No more we have this one night left To live our love and your ticking reminds me my irremediable pain Clock stops your way because my life is fading She is the star that illuminates my being Without her love I am nothing Stop time in your hands make this night perpetual so that it will never leave me so that I never love Clock stop your way because my life goes out She is the star that illuminates my being Without her love I am nothing Stop time in your hands make this night perpetual so that it will never leave me so that I never love
