Mi corazón se morirá
Si tu te vas, Si tu te vas
Mi corazón se morirá
Si tu te vas
Eres vida mía, todo lo que tengo
El mar que me baña, la luz que me guía
Eres la morada que habito
Eres la montaña que busca mi cuerpo
El frío en la noche, Primavera Invierno
Eres lo que sueño despierto, si tu te vas
Ya no me queda nada, si tu
Si tu te vas, Si tu te vas
Mi corazón se morirá
Si tu te vas, Si tu te vas
Mi corazón se morirá
Si tu te vas, si tu te vas
Eres vida mía, el trigo que siembro
Todo lo que pienso
Mi voz mi alegría
Eres lo que añoro y anhelo, si tu te vas
Ya no me queda nada, si tu te vas
Eres vida mía, todo mi alimento
La historia que rima
Si estas en mis versos
Eres la cobija, mi aliento
Y si tu te vas ya no me queda nada
Hay no
No se vida mia cambia todo
Si tu te vas,
El sol no me calienta ni modo
Si tu te vas,
El día me parece más oscuro
Si tu te vasEres vida mia todo lo que tengo
El mar que me baña, la luz que me guia
Eres la morada que habito
Y si tu te vas ya no me queda nada
Si tu te vas.
Eres la montaña que busca mi cuerpo
El rio en la noche, primavera e invierno
Eres lo que sueño despierto,
Y si tu te vas ya no me queda nada
No se vida mia cambia todo
Si tu te vas,
El sol no me calienta ni modo
Si tu te vas,
El día me parece más oscuro
Si tu te vas
The lyrics of Juan Luis Guerra's song Si Tu Te Vas express a deep love and dependency on the beloved person. The singer is confessing that if the person they love leaves them, their heart will die. The song's tone is somber and melancholy, reflecting the singer's emotion of despair and helplessness. The lyrics use vivid imagery to describe the person's significance in the singer's life; they are everything the singer has and everything the singer needs. Whether it's the sun, the river, or the winter, the singer associates everything around them with the person they love.
The song's repetition of "si tu te vas" emphasizes the central theme of the lyrics, which is the fear of losing the beloved. The chorus is particularly powerful in conveying this message, as it repeats the line "si tu te vas, mi corazón se morirá" (if you leave, my heart will die) several times. The lyrics demonstrate the importance of the person in the singer's life and how their absence would leave the singer with nothing. The desperation in the singer's voice conveys the depth of their love and their fear of losing it.
