Lyrics
El
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Un corazón de madera
Tengo que mandarme hacer;
Que no padezca ni sienta,
Ni sepa lo que es querer.
Las estrellitas del cielo
Y las arenas del mar
Se parecen a mis penas,
Que no acabo de contar.
Un imposible me mata;
Por un imposible muero:
Imposible es conseguir
El imposible que quiero
Dicen que las penas matan:
Yo digo que no es así;
Que si las penas mataran,
Ya me hubieran muerto a mí.
