Como la luna que alumbra
Por la noche los caminos
Como las hojas al viento
Como el sol espanta al frío
Como la tierra a la lluvia
Como el mar espera el río
Así espero tu regreso
A la tierra del olvido, ay

Cómo naufragan mis miedos
Si navego en tu mirada
Cómo alertas mis sentidos
Con tu voz enamorada
Con tu sonrisa de niña
Cómo me mueves el alma
Cómo me quitas el sueño
Cómo me robas la calma

Tú tienes la llave de mi corazón
Yo te quiero
Más que a mi vida, porque sin tu amor
Yo me muero
Tú tienes la llave de mi corazón
Yo te quiero
Más que a mi vida, porque sin tu amor
Yo me muero

Como la luna que alumbra
Por la noche los caminos
Como las hojas al viento
Como el sol espanta el frío
Como la tierra a la lluvia
Como el mar espera el río
Así espero tu regreso
A la tierra del olvido

Cómo naufragan mis miedos
Si navego en tu mirada
Cómo alertas mis sentidos
Con tu voz enamorada
Con tu sonrisa de niña
Cómo me mueves el alma
Cómo me quitas el sueño
Cómo me robas la calma

'
'
Con la mirada, con la garganta de un llanero cantador
Que grita con pecho abierto lleno de paz y emoción
Colombia, patria querida, te llevo en mi corazón

Tú tienes la llave de mi corazón
Yo te quiero
Más que a mi vida, porque sin tu amor
Yo me muero
Tú tienes la llave de mi corazón
Yo te quiero
Más que a mi vida, porque sin tu amor
Yo me muero

Yo me muero (Bogotá)
Yo me muero (es el Cholo Valderrama, grande)
Yo me muero

Cuando estoy fuera de casa, cómo te recuerdo
Vivir en el paraíso es vivir en tu suelo
Y desde el Amazonas derechito a la Guajira
Sé que es larga la ruta pero la montaña inspira
De sur a norte, de oeste a este
Mi Colombia está creciendo y así se siente
Así se siente si me atrevo a comparar
A mi tierra con tu cuerpo escultural
Alma tan bella como las flores
Háblame, canta, son mis amores

Tú tienes la llave de mi corazón
Yo te quiero
Más que a mi vida, porque sin tu amor
Yo me muero
Tú tienes la llave de mi corazón
Yo te quiero
Más que a mi vida, porque sin tu amor
Yo me muero
Tú tienes la llave de mi corazón
Yo te quiero
Más que a mi vida, porque sin tu amor
Yo me muero

Damas y caballeros
Herencia de Timbiqui (yo me muero)
Yo me muero
Yo me muero
Yo me muero

¡Buenas noches, Colombia!
