Consentida
Cuco Sánchez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que al mirarte a ti
Nunca pense Que pudiera al fin
Otra vez poner
En Nuevo amor mi ser,
Aunque lo pague
Con el precio
De mi vida
Lo que tenga que sufrir
Puedo jurar
Que tu seras mi consentida
Y que a nadie quiero tanto como a ti,
Has que contigo
Mi calvario se haga Santo,
Ya no me importa
Lo que digan los demas
Mi Corazon ha de quedar
Entre tus manos
Cuando el pobre este cansado ya de tanto amar
Mi Corazon ha de quedar centre tus manos cuando el pobre este cansado ya de tanto amar
In Cuco Sanchez's "Consentida," the singer expresses that he has been burdened with many sorrows but upon seeing the person he is addressing (presumably a lover), he never thought that he could find a new love in his heart. Despite the possibility of suffering greatly, he still makes the vow that she will be his cherished one and that there is no one in this world that he loves as much as her. He asks that she be the one to make his torment a sacred one, and he doesn't care what others say as his heart belongs solely to her. When he is exhausted from all the love he has given, he wants his heart to be in her hands.
The lyrics in "Consentida" encapsulate the idea of el amor apasionado, which refers to a passionate type of love that is often tumultuous and all-consuming. The singer's willingness to give everything for the sake of love is evident in his proclamation that he would do anything to make this person his consentida, even if the cost was his own life. This song is a great representation of traditional Mexican music, specifically the ranchera genre, which is known for its emotional and expressive lyrics that are sung with passion and accompanied by the rhythms of the guitar, violin, and trumpet.
