Devuelveme los Besos
El Charrito Negro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No te detengo ni te pido compasión
Abro la puerta a la hora que decidas
Puedes marcharte que al fin ya no hay amor
No te molestes, si acaso te pidiera,
De despedida, un último favor
Que me devuelvas las cosas que te llevas
Devuélveme los besos que te daba
Las noches tan hermosas del ayer
No me dejes cicatrices en el alma
Que me recuerden que algún día me enamore
Ya los rosales, que sembraste, se secaron
Pues presintieron, que ibas a partir
Los pajarillos que venían, se alejaron
Solo tristezas estas dejando en mí
Devuélveme los besos que te daba
Las noches tan hermosas del ayer
Y no me dejes cicatrices en el alma
Que me recuerden que algún día me enamore
Devuélveme los besos que te daba
Las noches tan hermosas del ayer
Y no me dejes cicatrices en el alma
Que me recuerden que algún día me enamore
The lyrics of El Charrito Negro's song "Devuélveme los besos" tells the story of a man who knows that his lover wants to leave him. He accepts her decision and does not ask for her compassion to stay. Instead, he allows her to go whenever she wants. The man only asks for one favor from his lover, which is to return the things she took with her when she leaves him. The man is hurt and wants to forget the pain caused by his lover's departure. He asks her to give him back the kisses and beautiful nights they shared before she goes. He does not want the memories of their love to leave scars on his soul that would remind him of the love he once had.
The song vividly illustrates the emotional state of the man who is trying to come to terms with the loss of his lover. He is not resentful but wants to move on with his life without any reminder of his past love. The lyrics reveal a sense of loss and sorrow, which is expressed through the melody and the singer's voice. The plea to return the stolen kisses is a metaphor for seeking closure and moving on from the pain of a broken relationship.
