A Usted
Alejandro Lerner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que no entiendo su silencio
Cuando no me dice nada
Después de un día de amor
Cada uno en una cama
Tan vacía y tan lejana
Que no entiendo porque
Otra noche mas de frío
De ilusiones postergadas
Otra noche mas de besos
Que se llevará mi almohada
Cuanto mas fácil sería que usted
Acepte que ya es mía
Como es mía la esperanza de volver
De volver a verla a usted
De volver a verla a usted
De volver a verla a usted
Y cualquiera de estos días
Tomaré la iniciativa
Gritaré por la avenida nuestro amor
Y cualquiera de estas noches
Yo le llevaré mi cuerpo
Para que haga lo que quiera
Y no sentirme un mendigo
Que le ruega por su amor
Otra noche mas de frío
De ilusiones postergadas
Otra noche mas de besos
Que se llevará mi almohada
Cuanto mas fácil sería que usted
Acepte que ya es mía
Como es mía la esperanza de volver,
De volver a verla a usted,
De volver a verla a usted,
De volver a verla a usted
In the song "A Usted," Alejandro Lerner sings about the frustration and confusion that often comes with romantic relationships. He laments the fact that despite having shared so many words and experiences with his lover, he can't understand why she's not speaking to him now. He also expresses his loneliness at having spent the night in separate beds, feeling both empty and distant from one another without any explanation. The verse "Cuanto mas fácil sería que usted acepte que ya es mía, como es mía la esperanza de volver" encapsulates his desire for his lover to just accept that they belong together and to stop playing games with his heart.
The chorus of the song repeats the longing to see his lover again, to hold her in his arms, and to end the cycle of missed opportunities and unspoken feelings. He dreams of taking the initiative to make their love known, to shout it from the rooftops and to offer his body to her so that she can do with it what she will. He just wants to be with her, to end the nights of cold and unfulfilled expectations, and to stop feeling like a beggar for her affection.
Overall, "A Usted" is a powerful song that captures the complex emotions of love and longing. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt frustrated by a partner's silence or had to navigate the difficult waters of unrequited love.
