No Me Platiques
Alberto Cortez y Facundo Cabral Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lo que debió pasar
Antes de conocernos
Se que has tenido, horas felices
Aún sin estar conmigo.
No quiero ya saber
Que pudo suceder
En todos estos años
Lejos de mi cariño.
Te quiero tanto que me encelo
Hasta de lo que pudo ser
Y me figuro que por eso
Es que yo vivo, tan intranquilo.
No me platiques más
Dejame imaginar
Que no existe el pasado
Y que nacimos el mismo instante
En que nos conocimos.
The lyrics of Alberto Cortez y Facundo Cabral's song No Me Platiques Más (Don't Tell Me Anymore) are about jealousy and the desire to forget the past. The singer is asking his/her partner not to talk about their past experiences before they met. The singer acknowledges that the partner has had happy times without him/her, but he/she doesn't want to know about it anymore. The singer is obsessed with the fear that his/her partner might have enjoyed their previous relationships more than they enjoy their current one. He/she gets jealous even of what might have been and imagines things that make him/her feel uneasy. The singer longs to believe that they both were born the same moment they met and there was nothing else before.
This song conveys a sense of possessiveness and insecurity that many people feel when they're in love. It shows how we can have a hard time accepting our partner's past and how we might feel threatened by it. The song is also about the power of imagination and how we can create our own reality. The singer wants to imagine that they were meant to be together all along, and that the past doesn't matter.
