Dile Que La Quiero
David Civera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que siente,
si a�n le queda algo
de ese amor que nos uni�
si la encuentras
algo differente,
entrala en razon
h�blale, insistele
que nos han hecho da�o,
que todo es mentira
dile que la quiero
que siempre fui sincero,
dile que me estoy volviendo
loco por una tonteria
dile que navego
entre el amor y el miedo,
dile me esta matando
esta melancolia
si la ves recuerdale
que tiene
de par en par las puertas
de mi coraz�n
dile que mis lagrimas
no entienden
por que no est� conmigo
en esta habitaci�n
H�blale, insistele
que nos han hecho da�o
que todo es mentira
The lyrics of David Civera's "Dile que la quiero" express the emotions of a person who is trying to win back their former love. The song opens with the singer asking whomever they might encounter to enquire after their former lover about whether they still feel the same way about them or if there is anything left of the love that once united them. The singer is clearly troubled and confused about their love, and is seeking answers to help make sense of the situation.
The second stanza of the song reveals the singer's agony over the situation, and their desire to make amends. They implore the person they speak to compel their former lover to speak to them and be rational enough to listen to what they have to say. The plea is instigated by the torture they are undergoing as a result of their emotional predicament.
The chorus of the song urges the singer's messenger to impress on their former lover that the singer really loves them and that they were always sincere in the past. The singer confesses that they are becoming crazy over a trivial issue, but that they cannot help how they feel. The second half of the chorus expresses the singer's despair over the possibility of losing their former love, emphasizing that their love is only causing them more anguish.
Overall, the tone of the song is one of desperation and hopelessness. The singer is consumed with the fear of losing their love, and it is causing them unbearable emotional pain.
