Crespo first gained fame in the mid-90s when he joined Grupo Mania, in Puerto Rico. Eventually he decided to try to go solo in 1998. His debut album, Suavemente was a hit, both in Latin America and in the US. The single "Suavemente" was a huge hit and eventually helped him earn the Best Male Tropical/Salsa Album of the Year from Billboard magazine.
His album went platinum in the Venezuelan and Central American markets and gold in Chile. Released in 1998, Crespo's debut also earned a gold album for sales of over 500,000 copies in the first year after its release in the United States. "Suavemente" set a record for holding the top position on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks chart for six weeks, longer than any other merengue single. Part of the song's success was its unexpected crossover appeal to English-speaking listeners, particularly in Miami and New York.
His album was mostly merengue influenced, but his follow-up albums would venture from these roots eventually.
Wow Flash! is Elvis Crespo's third solo recording for Sony Music.
Elvis Crespo's latest album, Regresó el Jefe, went on sale on 5 June 2007, with its first single being "La Foto Se Me Borró." He dedicated this album to his niece, Wilmarie Agosto Crespo, who died in a car accident on March 28, 2007.
Me Mata
Elvis Crespo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No pudiste soportar mi falta de atención
Yo que estaba tan seguro que no te lo creí
Que ahora me mata el dolor porque se que te perdí
Me mata el dolor
Me mata por tu adiós
Me mata porque no tengo tu amor
Me mata por tu adiós
Me mata porque no tengo tu amor oh
Son las cosas de la vida que no logro entender
A veces llega el amor y no lo sabes ver
Por orgullo quizás o tal vez por temor
Le negamos el querer a quien nos pida su amor
Me mata el dolor
Me mata por tu adiós
Me mata porque no tengo tu amor
Me mata el dolor
Me mata por tu adiós
Me mata porque te negué mi amor
Ah aprieta, ah, ah, ah, aprieta
Me mata el dolor
Me mata por tu adiós
Me mata porque no tengo tu amor
Me mata el dolor, me mata
Me matas por tu adiós, me mata el dolor
Me mata porque te negué mi amor
Me mata el puñete que tengo me mata hay en mi pecho
Me mata es que me hace falta dulce te quiero
Me mata y yo en el cielo me mata arrepentido
Me mata espero encontrarte para con dios contigo
In Elvis Crespo's song "Me Mata", the singer is reminiscing about a past relationship that fell apart due to his lack of attention and care towards his partner. The lyrics express regret and overwhelming pain, as he realizes how much he truly loved and needed his significant other. The chorus, "Me mata el dolor" (The pain is killing me) is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the immense hurt he is feeling from the loss of love.
The song also touches on a common theme in relationships - the difficulty of recognizing and accepting love when it comes our way. The lyrics mention how sometimes, people don't realize that they have found true love until it's too late. Self-doubt and fear can also prevent someone from embracing love, causing them to push away those who truly care for them. Elvis Crespo warns listeners not to let pride and fear get in the way of loving someone who may be the right person for them.
Overall, "Me Mata" is a soulful and emotional song that captures the pain and regret of a failed relationship. It serves as a reminder to value those we love and to not take them for granted, as well as to be open to love when it presents itself.
