Amar es entregarse

Hymn on ONE LICENSE

Amar es entregarse

Tune: [Amar es entregarse]
Published in 10 hymnals


Representative Text

1 Amar es entregarse,
olvidándose de sí,
buscando lo que al otro pueda hacerle feliz,
buscando lo que al otro pueda hacerle feliz.

Estribillo:
¡Qué lindo es vivir para amar!
¡Qué grande es tener para dar!
Dar alegría, felicidad,
darse uno mismo, eso es amar.
Dar alegría, felicidad,
darse uno mismo, eso es amar.

2 Amar como a sí mismo,
entregarse a los demás;
así no habrá egoísmo que no pueda superar.
Así no habrá egoísmo que no pueda superar. [Estribillo]
