La Ramera
Adan Romero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que te dijera un te quiero
aunqeu fuera una mentira
que te gustaba creerlo
ignoraba tus llamadas
esque es cierto me cansabas
y despues me reclamabas
me sentia muy culpable
cruel por no poder amarte
segun yo tu eras tan grande
que dios iba a castigarme
y mientras que yo sufria
por no poder dar mi vida
ala que todos decian
sera la octava maravilla
y ahora que?
la verdad llego,
resulta que eres de lo peor
mas que yo
y mira que contradicción
hoy estas con todos
vas a donde sea
la santa resulto ramera
valla que sorpresa
no me lo esperaba
y yo fui tan tonto
me crusificaba
pero te me largas ala chingada
de tus mentiras no creo nada
ni quiero nada...
The lyrics of Adan Romero's song "La Ramera" center around the betrayal and disillusionment that the singer feels after a past relationship. The song opens with the memory of the singer being asked to say "I love you" to their ex-partner, even if it was a lie that they enjoyed believing. The relationship was marked by the singer ignoring their partner's calls, getting tired of their behavior, and then being blamed for the way they were feeling. The singer expresses their guilt for not being able to love their ex-partner as they thought they should, believing that they were so great that God would punish them for not being able to love them in return.
However, as the song progresses, the singer reveals that they have learned the truth about their ex-partner - that they are not a good person and have betrayed them by being with other people. The singer reveals their shock and confusion, admitting that they had been foolishly devoted to someone who had deceived them. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that they want nothing to do with their ex-partner and their lies.
Overall, "La Ramera" is a lamentation of a past relationship that was unhealthy and based on lies. The singer's disillusionment and sense of betrayal is palpable throughout the song, and the use of imagery like "la santa resulto ramera" (the saint turned out to be a whore) adds a powerful layer of betrayal and disappointment.
