Cien Años
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con gran indiferencia
Tus ojos ni siquiera
Voltearon hacia mí
Te vi sin que me vieras
Te hablé sin que me oyeras
Y toda mi amargura
Se ahogó dentro de mí
Me duele hasta la vida
Saber que me olvidaste
Pensar que ni desprecios
Merezca yo de ti
Y sin embargo sigues
Unida a mi existencia
Y si vivo cien años
Cien años pienso en ti
Pasaste a mi lado
Con gran indiferencia
Tus ojos ni siquiera
Voltearon hacia mí
Te vi sin que me vieras
Te hablé sin que me oyeras
Y toda mi amargura
Se ahogó dentro de mí
Me duele hasta la vida
Saber que me olvidaste
Pensar que ni desprecios
Merezca yo de ti
Y sin embargo sigues
Unida a mi existencia
Y si vivo cien años
Cien años pienso en ti
The song "Cien Años" by Pedro Infante tells the story of unrequited love, of a man who has been forgotten by the woman he loves. The lyrics describe a moment when the man sees the woman he loves pass by with great indifference. He tries to reach out to her, but she doesn't even acknowledge his presence. He feels the pain of knowing that she has forgotten him and realizes that he is not even worthy of her contempt.
Despite this, the man cannot forget about the woman. Even though she has moved on and his love is unrequited, she remains an integral part of his existence. He acknowledges that even if he lives for a hundred years, he will continue to think of her.
The song expresses the universal theme of unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. It is a tribute to the power of love, that even when it is not returned, it can still leave an indelible mark on a person's life.
