Carlos Cuevas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rodando por el mundo te encontré
Yo quise curar, tu desconsuelo
Brindándote mi amor,
Rara, maligna y fatal
Como una perla negra eres tú
No puedo, vivir sin tu cariño, sin tu mirar
La vida es un calvario si tus labios me niegan
Esos besos que me matan me enloquecen
La vida es un tormento si tus ojos,
Me niegan su mirar
Rara, maligna y fatal
Como una perla negra eres tú
No puedo, vivir sin tu cariño, sin tu mirar
La vida es un calvario si tus labios me niegan
Esos besos que me matan me enloquecen
La vida es un tormento si tus ojos,
Me niegan su mirar
Rara, maligna y fatal
Como una perla negra eres tú
No puedo, vivir sin tu cariño, sin tu mirar
The lyrics of Carlos Cuevas's song Perla Negra express the pain and longing of a person who has found someone they care deeply for but cannot be with.

Despite this, the singer cannot imagine living without their love and without being able to see them.
The singer expresses how life is unbearable if they are denied the love, kisses and looks of their love interest. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the desperate need for this person and how they cannot live without them. The use of the metaphor of a black pearl to describe their love interest conveys the idea that this person is unique and valuable, but also dangerous and difficult to possess.
