Dolor
amparito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
quejarme de no tener desgracias,
adelantarme a lo que no me pasa,
adelantarme a lo que no me pasa.
Quisiera estar en el abismo,
sentir mi vida como un sacrificio pero...
me faltan muertos para tanto nicho,
me faltan muertos para tanto nicho.
Qué manía con ser feliz!
Por qué no puedo estar así?
Qué manía con ser feliz!
Por qué no puedo estar así?
Me gusta encerrarme a oscuras,
pensando siempre en lo que quizá sufra,
adelantarme a enfermedades futuras,
adelantarme a enfermedades futuras.
Quisiera estar en un agujero,
con mil miserias sin remedio pero...
me faltan penas para tantos huesos,
me faltan penas para tantos huesos.
Qué manía con ser feliz!
Por qué no puedo estar así?
Qué manía con ser feliz!
Por qué no puedo estar así?
Me falta vida para tanto dolor.
Me falta vida para tanto dolor.
Me falta vida para tanto dolor.
Me falta vida para tanto dolor.
The lyrics of "Dolor" by Amparito convey a sense of self-pity and a desire for suffering. The singer expresses a liking for feeling sorry for themselves and for anticipating future misfortunes. They even wish to be in the abyss and to feel their life as a sacrifice, but they acknowledge that they lack enough dead bodies or miseries to complete their metaphorical cemetery. The repetition of the phrase "adelantarme a lo que no me pasa" ("anticipating what hasn't happened to me yet") reinforces this idea of dwelling on potential negativity.
The chorus of the song questions the common societal expectation of happiness and the singer's inability to fulfill it. They wonder why they cannot be happy like everyone else, while recognizing their own tendency towards self-inflicted suffering. The second half of the song continues this theme of lacking enough pain, expressing that the singer's life is not long enough for all the sorrow they desire to experience. The lyrics suggest a complicated relationship with sadness and pain, one that is simultaneously sought after and lamented.
