Su hermana
Caballo Dorado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
esa noche que salieron sus papás.
Preparó la cena y me invitó a pasar
la hermana se subió cuando me vió llegar.
Luego que comimos me invitó a bailar
pusimos pura música romántica.
Su hermana me cerraba el ojo al pasar
ELLA ME AMÓ Y ME ADORÓ
PERO ERA SU HERMANA,
SU HERMANA, SU HERMANA
LA QUE ME TRAICIONÓ.
ELLA ME AMÓ Y ME ADORÓ
PERO ERA SU HERMANA,
SU HERMANA, SU HERMANA
LA QUE ME CONQUISTÓ.
Todo iva bien cuando empezó a llover
yo quise despedirme para ser cortés.
Pero derrepente la luz se apagó
y mi novia tuvo que salir a ver.
Luego yo sentí que alguien se acercó
me tomo del brazo y luego me abrazó.
Desde ese momento me tembló el corazón
porque era su hermana la que me besó.
ELLA ME AMÓ Y ME ADORÓ
PERO ERA SU HERMANA,
SU HERMANA, SU HERMANA
LA QUE ME TRAICIONÓ.
ELLA ME AMÓ Y ME ADORÓ
PERO ERA SU HERMANA,
SU HERMANA, SU HERMANA
LA QUE ME CONQUISTÓ.
ELLA ME AMÓ Y ME ADORÓ
PERO ERA SU HERMANA,
SU HERMANA, SU HERMANA
LA QUE ME TRAICIONÓ.
ELLA ME AMÓ Y ME ADORÓ
PERO ERA SU HERMANA,
SU HERMANA, SU HERMANA
LA QUE ME CONQUISTÓ.
The song Su Hermana by Caballo Dorado tells the story of a man who goes over to his girlfriend's house for dinner with her family. After dinner, the girlfriend invites him to dance to romantic music, but the sister keeps interrupting with suggestive comments. Later on, there is a power outage, and the singer's girlfriend leaves to check on it. During this time, the sister takes advantage of the darkness to seduce him, leading to a betrayal of his girlfriend's trust.
The lyrics of Su Hermana highlight the theme of betrayal, and the singer's inner conflict as he realizes that he has fallen for the wrong woman. The repetition of "su hermana" throughout the song emphasizes the sense of guilt that he feels, as he struggles with his feelings for his girlfriend's sister. The lyrics also reveal a complicated family dynamic, where the sister is apparently jealous of her sibling and seeks to sabotage her relationship.
Overall, Su Hermana is a cautionary tale about the consequences of giving into temptation, and the pain that comes from betraying the trust of loved ones.
