Cuando Vivas Conmigo
Maria Dolores Pradera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a mis años estoy enamorado,
tengo el pelo completamente blanco
pero voy a sacar juventud de mi pasado.
Y te voy a enseñar a querer
porque tú no has querido
ya verás lo que vas a aprender
cuando vivas conmigo.
De mis labios está brotando sangre
mi derrota la tengo sepultada
y hoy me entrego a tus brazos como a nadie
porque sé que mi amor sin tu amor no vale nada.
Y te voy a enseñar a querer
porque tú no has querido
ya verás lo que vas a aprender
cuando vivas conmigo.
The lyrics to María Dolores Pradera's song "Cuando Vivas Conmigo" are about an older man who is in love and willing to teach his beloved how to love. The first verse expresses his emotional state with tears flowing from his eyes and his age being a factor (white hair). However, he is determined to draw youth from his past and share his knowledge and experience on love with his partner. The second verse talks about his surrender to his beloved, acknowledging that his love is pointless without reciprocation. He is willing to give himself entirely to her and teach her the true meaning of love which she has not yet experienced.
The song is an ode to the power of love and the importance of sharing it with others. The singer assures her partner that she will learn how to love wholeheartedly when she is with him. It speaks to the idea that love is not just about receiving but giving, and the older man wants to impart that knowledge to his beloved.
This song has deep emotional significance and has been covered by various artists over the years. It is a testament to the enduring power of love and how it can transform us, regardless of age.

I first listened to Maria Dolores Pradera in a small souvenir shop in Spain. There was a gentleman who was about 65 to 70 years old on sale. A very charismatic and benevolent character. He wrote me on a note, the name of the one who played the beautiful song: Maria Dolores Pradera. Thank you sir !

Never been to Spain myself. The first time I listened to her was when I was about 6. I am 45 now. Didnt know she had passed away. Excellent singer. My grandma introduced me to her songs.

My late husband introduced her to me when we went to look for this song in a music shop and at the Sunday flee market called “ El Rastro” in Madrid Spain. I think from that moment l fell in love with her. Was there too when she died and sadly three months ago my husband too died. Am listening to this and thinking of him. RIPP Felipe De Los Toyos. You’re missed.
