Total
Edith Márquez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pretendiendo humillarme pregonaste
El haberte enseñado mi pasion
Y finginedo una onda te la imaginaste
Que morira de desesperacion

Total
Si me hubieras querido
Ya me hubiera olvidado
De tu querer

Ya vez,
Que fue tiempo perdido
El que tu has meditado
Para ahora decirme que no puede ser

Pensar
Que llegar a quererte
Es creer que la muerte
Se pudiera evitar

Total
Si no tengo tus besos
No me muero por eso
Yo ya estoy cansada de tanto besar

Pensar
Que llegar a quererte
Es creer que la muerte
Se pudiera evitar

Total
Si no tengo tus besos
No me muero por eso
Yo ya estoy cansada de tanto besar

No me muero por eso
Yo ya estoy cansada de tanto besar





Vivi sin conocerte
Puedo vivir sin ti

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Edith Márquez's song Total describe a situation where the singer's lover attempts to humiliate her by telling others that she had shown him her passion for him. The lover pretends that he feels a certain way about the singer, which he imagines will lead her to feel desperate for him. However, the singer responds by saying that if he truly cared for her, she would have already forgotten about him. The second verse of the song suggests that the singer has realized that trying to love this person was a waste of time and that she now understands that loving someone who doesn't feel the same way is like trying to avoid death.


The chorus of the song, "Total," suggests that the singer is resigned to her situation and that if she can't have her lover's kiss, then it's not worth dying for. The phrase "Total" is used as a general reflection of the singer's thoughts toward the matter, like saying "in the end" or "after all." The song's lyrics implore the listener to consider the reality of the situation, emphasizing that love can lead to heartache and that perhaps it would be better to move on from unrequited love instead of clinging to the hope that the singer's lover will change their feelings.
