Qué Te Importa
Cuco Sánchez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me voy a morir
Que no vale por ti el sacrificio
Lo podrán decir
Que no quieres saber de mi nombre
Eso ya lo sé
Pero yo que te quiero de veras
Qué te importa decir por doquier
Que ya te perdí
Qué te importa este pobre querer
Que llora por ti
Qué te importa el hacerme sufrir
Con otro querer
Si no puedo lograr que me ames
Qué le voy a hacer
(...)
Qué te importa el hacerme sufrir
Con otro querer
Si no puedo lograr que me ames
Qué le voy a hacer
The lyrics of Cuco Sanchez's song "Qué Te Importa" convey a sense of heartbreak and struggle for acceptance in a one-sided love affair. The singer of the song is deeply in love with someone who does not reciprocate their feelings. The opening lines suggest that the intensity of the singer's affection for this person may lead to their demise, but they are willing to endure the sacrifice nevertheless. The singer acknowledges that the object of their affection does not care about them, which is a painful truth to accept. However, no matter how hard they try, the singer cannot help loving this person, and they do not know what to say or do to change the situation.
