o el comermela a besos ayer iba tan guapa que hasta
la calle susurraba su nombre por cada paso que daba
Ayer iba tan guapa que todavia me pregunto si la suerte
un dia me dio la espalda a mi la espalda
Tu que eres su amiga dile que la quiero tu que estas
con ella dile que me muero guardian de sus secretos
tu que eres su amiga dile que el no le conviene tu
que estas con ella que el no la merece
yo se que no la quiere siento que se desvive
y el no lo agradece , agradece
Ayer iba tan guapa que todavia me pregunto
si algun dia pondra en mi su mirada ayer iba
tan guapa que se le nota en la mirada que ella
vive tan triste y enamorada
Ayer iba tan guapa que mis oidos esquivaban
su mirada para no arañarme el alma mi pobre alma
Tu que eres su amiga dile que la quiero tu que
estas con ella dile que me muero guardian de sus
secretos dele que me encelo si yo no la tengo
la tengo
tu que eres su amiga dile que el no le conviene
tu que estas con ella que el no la merece
yo se que no la quiere siento que se desvive
y el no lo agradece , agradece
In the song “Ayer Iba Tan Guapa” by Andy & Lucas, the singer laments over the stunning appearance of a woman. He's torn between wanting to die out of grief over not being with her and wanting to devour her with kisses. He remarks on how beautiful she was, to the point where even the street whispered her name with each step she took. He wonders if he was unlucky to have lost her, and halfway through the song, he addresses her friend, imploring her to tell the woman he loves her and that he's jealous if he can't have her. He also tells the friend to tell the woman that her current partner doesn't deserve her love and that he doesn't appreciate her. In the final verse, the singer still longs to be admired by the woman, but he keeps his distance because his heart is too fragile.
The lyrics suggest a complicated and pained love triangle. It appears that the singer has lost the woman, knowing that she's with someone else, and resents the fact that her current partner doesn't value her as he does. The song has a sad, almost desperate tone, with the singer yearning for the woman but having to stand back due to his own insecurities. It also highlights the weight of trying to communicate one's feelings towards someone who's taken, with the dependency on the friend in the narrative acting as a critical phatic element in the song.
