The band has released several albums since its formation in November 1996, and in 2007 was nominated for a Latin Grammy for their album, Ahora Y Siempre.[citation needed] Their hits "Si Yo Fuera Tu Amor" and "Por Tu Amor" reached #2 and #4, respectively, on Billboard's Latin Regional Mexican Airplay chart. Recently, their new single "Por Amarte Así," a cover of Cristian Castro's song, has topped the Billboard Charts at number one for several weeks in a row.[1] According to Billboard, "Por Amarte Así" has also been the number one downloaded ringtone. "Por Amarte Asi" was featured in an episode of a Mexican telenovela, "Al Diablo Con Los Guapos." Alacranes Musical were nominated for the 51st American Grammys in the category Best Banda Album for their song, "Tu Inspiracion".
Recently there were two Alacranes Musical touring due to arguments between the members of the group, Memo Ibarra and Omar Sanchez, and the musicians of the group, the Urbina Family. They parted ways and the record company that claims to own rights to the name of the group sided with the singers. The Urbina Family hired former singer Sergio "Hersheys" Federico and former Banda Lamento Show singer Alonzo Andez to sing for their group. The singers hired all new musicians. Fans seemed to be 50-50 on the situation, many liking the originals—the Urbina Family—and many liking the singers. Both have recorded material under the name. In February 2011, the Urbinas posted a YouTube video[2] declaring that the dispute was settled and that their group would be the official Alacranes Musical as of Easter weekend that year. A new album has also been announced for 2011.
Ay Amor
Alacranes Musical Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Podría aguantar un adiós
Sabía que la solución
De poder olvidarte
Tener que arrancarte
De mi corazón
Cuanto te quiero
El dolor
De tener que dejarte
Es tener que aguantarme
Sanarme la herida
De mi corazón
Me aleje
Porque no me quisiste
Decírmelo fue
Para ti mu y difícil
Y por eso me marche
Ay amor
Cuanto te quiero
Le pido a dios
Que te lleva en el alma
Para que tú sepas
Que en mi corazón
Nunca se manda
The lyrics to Alacranes Musical's song "Ay Amor" depict the pain and struggle of letting go of a loved one. The singer knows that they need to forget the one they loved in order to move on, but their heart is struggling to let go. They believed that they could handle saying goodbye, but it's proving to be much harder than expected.
The song's chorus, "Ay amor cuanto te quiero, el dolor de tenerte que dejarte" (Oh love, how much I love you, the pain of having to leave you), emphasizes the emotional turmoil the singer is going through. They must bear the pain of healing their heart and forgetting the one they loved. The lyrics are very relatable to anyone who has gone through a difficult break-up or had to let go of someone they loved.
The final verse of the song highlights the fact that the singer wasn't able to get closure. The person they loved didn't want to tell them the truth, which made it harder for them to move on. The singer eventually leaves because they realize that they can't force someone to love them back.
Overall, "Ay Amor" is a powerful song that portrays the complexities of love and heartbreak. It showcases the human struggle of having to let go of someone they love, especially when there wasn't a clear resolution.
