Hasta Cuando
David Lee Garza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuantas noches de vino y desvelo
Esperando a ver si con el tiempo
Se cerraba esta herida que tengo
Sin tener yo ninguna noticia
Pretendiendo el haberte olvidado
Ya mi cuerpo se encuentra cansado
Hasta cuando va terminar esta pena
Cuando me voy a librar de esta cadena
Ya mi pecho herido no encuentra el alivio
Mi unica esperanza es que vuelvas conmigo
Tanto tiempo espere tu regreso
Cuantas noches de vino y desvelo
Esperando a ver si con el tiempo
Se cerraba esta herida que tengo
Sin tener yo ninguna noticia
Pretendiendo el haberte olvidado
Ya mi cuerpo se encuentra cansado
Y tu de mi ni te has acordado
Hasta cuando va terminar esta pena
Cuando me voy a librar de esta cadena
Ya mi pecho herido no encuentra el alivio
Mi unica esperanza es que vuelvas conmigo
The lyrics to David Lee Garza's song, Hasta Cuando, are a lamentation of a broken heart waiting for a reunion. The singer uses the metaphor of a wound that never quite heals, a metaphor that is repeated throughout the song. The singer has waited so long for the return of his beloved, that he has lost sleep and drowned his sorrows in wine. He hoped that with time the wound would heal, but it hasn't. He has no news of his lover and has pretended to move on, but his body is exhausted.
In a cry of desperation, the singer asks "Hasta Cuando," meaning "how much longer" in Spanish. He wants to know when his pain will end and he will be free from the chain of heartbreak. The only hope he has left is that his lover will return to him. The repetition of the verses emphasizes the singer's anguish and longing for his lover, who has seemingly forgotten about him.
The lyrics are a universal depiction of love and waiting for someone. It shows how one person's love can wound another and leave them with an open wound. It is a song that resonates with people who have loved and lost, who have waited endlessly for someone who didn't return, and who have sought hope in the possibility of reunion.
