Tonto corazón
Benny Ibarra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no me cuentes otra historia de amor,
si lo sabíamos los dos.
Tonto corazón, no te dejes destruir,
el acuerdo fue guardar la razón,
tienes que entenderlo, es mejor dejarlo así.
no es un juego de ganar o perder,
es un juego de sentir, sólo un juego de sentir.
The lyrics of Benny Ibarra's Tonto corazón are a plea to a heart (tonto corazón) to not let itself get hurt again by another love story. The singer urges the heart to not recount another tale of love, as both of them knew what would happen. There was an agreement to keep reason, so the heart must understand that it is better to leave things as they are. The singer advises the heart not to insist on suffering, as love is not a game of winning or losing - it's just about feeling.
The song reflects the human tendency to fall into love even after being aware of its consequences. It acknowledges that one's heart can be foolish and reckless despite logic, leading to the situation where one must decide between following their emotions and using their reason. The singer in the song shows a kind of empathy towards the heart and understands its vulnerability and the pain it may have gone through.

Al escuchar ésta canción me pongo triste, no tanto por la letra sino porqué me hago la pregunta, en que momento de nuestras vidas se perdió el gusto por la buena música o canciones, en que momento se perdió el romanticismo que hacía que las personas se enamoren locamente, Dios te pido porfavor que regrese el buen gusto musical, un abrazo a la distancia para todos.
