A.B. Quintanilla III Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu enfrentaste la estación
A donde yo dejé
A salvo el corazón
Y nos volvimos cielo y mar
Tú y yo
Un solo aliento al respirar
Si el tiempo nos unió
No me desarmes la vida
Y quedate aquí
Pues que una parte eres todo para mí
No me desarmes la vida
Así no tiene valor
El rompecabezas de éste amor
En cada escondite de tu ser
Esta la raíz de mi placer
Ya te conozco bien
Tu cuerpo se leer
Si ciegamente en ti confié
No sé porque tu abrazo esta vez a si en dos se
Qué fue lo que pasó
En que mentira me quebré
No me desarmes la vida
Y quedate aquí
Pues que una parte eres todo para mí
No me desarmes la vida
Así no tiene valor
El rompecabezas de éste amor
Ya una vez, mi destino cambio
No me hagas pedazos
El mundo con tu adiós
No me desarmes la vida
Y quedate aquí
Pues que una parte eres todo para mí
No me desarmes la vida
Así no tiene valor
El rompecabezas de éste amor
No me desarmes la vida
Y quedate aquí
Pues que una parte eres todo para mí
No me desarmes la vida
Así no tiene valor
El rompecabezas de éste amor
The lyrics of A.B. Quintanilla III's song Rompecabezas talk about a relationship that has become complicated and signals a plea for the lover to not give up on the relationship. The song starts with the singer admitting that he's lost his way and doesn't know what direction to take. However, the lover steps forward and offers guidance like a train station, where the singer can leave his heart safe.
The second verse highlights the importance of the relationship to the singer. He compares the lover with the elements of the sky and the ocean, symbolizing that together they complete each other. Yet, despite the bond they share, there's a sense of doubt that the singer senses in the lover's actions. The chorus is a plea for the lover to stay, to not give up on the relationship, and not shatter the pieces of the singer's life that are wrapped up in it. The singer views their relationship as a puzzle, and they can only be solved together.
In the final verse, the singer acknowledges that his destiny has already changed because he met the lover. The song ends with a plea for the lover not to break the singer's existence by leaving. The song is an emotional plea for the lover to not let go of the relationship but to hold on and work through whatever challenges exist.
