No
Carlos Cuevas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nos perdimos, sí
Pero quisimos desafiar la profecía
De que tu alma no empataba con la mía
Que era todo un capricho, tonterías

Nos quisimos, sí
E intentamos remendar nuestras heridas
Pero no bastó tu boca con la mía

Nos faltó valor, no estuvimos a la altura del amor

Y te pienso y muchas veces me maldigo
Porque quiero y no, tenerte aquí conmigo
Porque ya no puedo ser ni aquel amigo
Que llevaste y te llevaba al paraíso

Y te sueño y te deseo más que antes
Mas no estoy para jueguitos de amantes
Deseo que estés bien y no finjas como yo
Que me olvidaste

Y te pienso y muchas veces me maldigo
Porque quiero y no tenerte aquí conmigo
Porque ya no puedo ser ni aquel amigo
Que llevaste y te llevaba al paraíso

Y te sueño y te deseo más que antes
Mas no estoy para jueguitos de amantes
Deseo que estés bien y no finjas como yo

Que me olvidaste
(Que me olvidaste)

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Carlos Cuevas reflects on a relationship that has ended, expressing mixed emotions and regret. He begins by acknowledging that they got lost, meaning they lost their way in their relationship. Despite this, they wanted to defy the prophecy that their souls were not compatible. They believed that it was just a whim or foolishness.

They loved each other and tried to heal their wounds, but their efforts were not enough. The connection between their mouths was not sufficient, and they lacked the courage to match the level of love required. The lyrics convey a sense of disappointment in themselves for not living up to the challenges of love.

The singer confesses to thinking about the person they lost and sometimes blames themselves. They desire to have that person back in their life, yet they also acknowledge that they cannot simply be a friend as before. They realize that their presence was once able to transport the other to paradise, but now such a connection is no longer possible.

The second part of the lyrics reveal that the singer dreams and desires the person even more than before. However, they are no longer interested in playing love games as lovers. Instead, they genuinely wish that the person is well and does not pretend or fake their feelings, just as the singer may have done. The lyrics end with a repetition of the last line, emphasizing the feeling of being forgotten by the person they still long for.
