Porqué
Eddie Gonzalez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me ases Tanto sufrir
Si yo nunca te negado
Si yo nunca te negado
Mi pobre Corazón
Por que
Dudas de mi amor
Si lo único que quero
Es amar te mas y mas
Con el alma echo a pedazos
Poco a poco voy muriendo
No te da pena mujer
Olvidar te lo quisiera
Pero al verte me arrepiento
No te puedo ya olvidar

He bemoans the fact that his soul is slowly being destroyed and he wonders if she feels no shame for causing him so much pain. In the final verse, the singer admits that he wishes he could forget about her, but every time he sees her, he regrets feeling that way and knows he can no longer forget her.
