En esa orilla del río
Te veo, me ves, nos vemos
Tu mirada y mi mirada
Y el río siempre en el medio
Y el río siempre en el medio
A tus ojos llegan tantas
Palomitas mensajeras
Trayéndome la esperanza
Sobre el río de las penas
Sobre el río de las penas
Y cuando el sol nos seque
Las lágrimas de los ojos
Nacerán dos nubes blancas
Con tu mejilla en mi rostro
Que en un luminoso vuelo
Se unirán en el cielo
Que en un luminoso vuelo
Se unirán en el cielo
Florcita de la montaña
Tus labios quiero besarte
Y gracias a este río
Nada mas que mirarte
Nada mas que mirarte
A aquella orilla del río
Tu corazón se agita
Mientras tanto el mío
Dale que grita, y que grita
Dale que grita, y que grita
A tus ojos llegan tantas
Palomitas mensajeras
Trayéndome la esperanza
Sobre río de las penas
Sobre río de las penas
