Penas
Bonny Cepeda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
por qué esa mujer no entiende
y me hace perder la calma,
mírame que mu tienes cansado
te llevo por todas partes y nunca tu eres feliz
mátame, mi amor si no eres conforme
si a ti yo te lo di todo, que más quieres tú de mi
Que te de todo el cariño que quizás yo no te di
Quiera Dios que encuentre un hombre en tu vida
Que te de todo el cariño que quizás yo no te di
Mátame, o dame calor
Mátame mi amor si no eres conforme
si a ti yo te lo di todo, que más quieres tú de mí
Quiera Dios que encuentre un hombre en tu vida
Que te de todo el cariño que quizás yo no te di
Quiera Dios que encuentre un hombre en tu vida
Que te de todo el cariño que quizás yo no te di
Que te de todo el cariño que quizás yo no te di
Que te de todo el cariño que quizás yo no te di
Que te de todo el cariño que quizás yo no te di
Que te de todo el cariño que quizás yo no te di
The song "Penas" by Bonny Cepeda is about a man who is feeling distressed and hurt in his soul because he can't understand why his partner doesn't understand him and makes him lose his calm. He is tired of carrying the weight of the relationship and feels as though he can never make her happy. He asks his partner to either kill him if she is not satisfied with everything he has given her or to show him love and affection. In the chorus, he prays to God to bring a man into her life who can give her the love and tenderness that he perhaps couldn't offer her.
The lyrics in "Penas" are a reflection of the ups and downs of relationships that can lead to frustration, heartache, and disappointment. The lyrics suggest that the man in the song has tried his best to make his partner happy, but she is not satisfied. He expresses his vulnerability and his willingness to make things work, yet he still feels helpless. The song's overall message is to let go of relationships that are causing pain and to have faith that better things will come along.
