Hombre muerto
De Saloon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dos
Y es porque, moja tus labios por
Mi
Y es verdad
Si tu sabes que no volveré atrás
Y es porque, si tu sabes
Que me ahogo y respiro
Y quien salvara mi alma
Si sabes que me ahogo y respiro
Y quien salvara mi alma
Si sabes que me ahogo
Y no llores por mí
No llores por mí
These lyrics are from the song "Hombre muerto" by De Saloon. The main theme of this song is about the struggles of a man who is sinking in his emotions and is desperately trying to find a way out. The song starts with the lines, "Despertar, de este sueño de los dos" which means "Wake up, from this dream of the two of us." These lines signify the end of a relationship, where the man is trying to accept the reality that the relationship is over. He then talks about how he still misses her, and how he remembers the taste of her lips (“moja tus labios por mi”).
The next lines, "Y es verdad si tú sabes que no volveré atrás" meaning "and it's true if you know that I won't go back," shows that the man has accepted that there is no going back to the way things were before. He then talks about how he feels suffocated by his emotions, and yet still tries to breathe (“si tú sabes que me ahogo y respiro”).
The chorus of this song talks about the man's struggle to find help or someone to save him from his emotional turmoil (“Y quién salvará mi alma si sabes que me ahogo y respiro"). He is asking for someone to save him from the drowning feeling he has, but he doesn't know who can help him. The song ends with the words "No llores por mí" which means "Don't cry for me," indicating that he has accepted his fate and doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him.
