Por El Amor De Una Mujer
Alexandre Pires Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Por el amor de una mujer
Jugué con fuego sin saber
Que era yo quien me quemaba
Bebi en las fuentes del placer
Hasta llegar a comprender
Que no era a mi quien amaba.

Por el amor de una mujer

He dado todo cuanto fui
Lo más hermoso de mi vida,
Mas ese tiempo que perdí
Ha de servirme alguna vez
Cuando se cure bien mi herida.

Todo me parece como un sueño todavía
Pero sé que al fin podré olvidar un día
Hoy me siento triste pero pronto cantaré
Y prometo no acordarme nunca del ayer.

Por el amor de una mujer
Llegué a llorar y enloquecer
Mientras que ella se reía
Rompí en pedazos un cristal
Dejé mis venas desangrar
Pues no sabía lo que hacía.

Por el amor de una mujer
He dado todo cuanto fui
Lo más hermoso de mi vida,
Mas ese tiempo que perdí

Ha de servirme alguna vez
Cuando se cure bien mi herida.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alexandre Pires's song "Por El Amor De Una Mujer" (For The Love Of A Woman) tell the story of a man who has lost himself in the pursuit of love. The song talks about the man's lack of self-awareness, as he plays with fire without understanding that he is the one getting burned. He drinks from the fountain of pleasure until he finally understands that it is not him that the woman loves. The song talks about the sacrifices that the man has made for love, giving up everything that he was to be with the woman he loves. But despite all his efforts, he has fallen short in winning her heart, and in the end, he is left with nothing but pain.

In the song's chorus, the man reflects on everything he has lost for love, hoping that one day it will all serve a purpose. He struggles to move on, but he promises himself that he will forget the past someday and look forward to a better tomorrow. The song is a poignant reminder of the hardships that come with love and how easy it is to lose yourself when trying to be someone else's perfect match.
