Martirio
Esther Marisol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He vivido tolerando martirios
Pero jamás me mostrado cobarde
Arrastraré las cadenas mas fuertes
Hasta que mi pobre vida se acabe
Arrastraré las cadenas mas fuertes
Hasta que mi pobre vida se acabe
Estoy enferma de pena, Y en sueños
Y mis ansias de ventura se pierden
En sombras negras y tristes
De olvido
Y mis ansias de Ventura se pierden
En sombras negras y tristes
De olvido
A los bosques yo me interno llorando
En busca de la hierba del olvido
A ver si con esta hierba pudiera
Olvidar lo que tanto yo he querido
A ver si con esta hierba pudiera
Olvidar lo que tanto yo he querido
Hay Lara la lara la la laira
Hay Lara la lara la la laira
Hay Lara la lara la la laira
Hay Lara la lara la la laira
Haber si con esta hierba pudiera
Olvidar lo que tanto yo he querido
Dos dos dos
Ayyyy
A los bosques yo me interno llorando
En busca de la hierba del olvido
A ver si con esta hierba pudiera
Olvidar lo que tanto yo he querido
A ver si con esta hierba pudiera
Olvidar lo que tanto yo he querido
Hay Lara la lara la la laira
Hay Lara la lara la la laira
Hay Lara la lara la la laira
Hay Lara la lara la la laira
Haber si con esta hierba pudiera
Olvidar lo que tanto yo he querido
The lyrics of Esther Marisol's song, "Martirio," speak to the struggles and pain of the singer. She describes herself as having endured many trials and tribulations but having never shown cowardice. The singer is determined to carry the heaviest chains until the end of her life, displaying her strength and resilience. However, she also paints a picture of loneliness and heartache, seeking love and happiness in life but finding only black and sad shadows of forgetfulness. She turns to nature, going into the woods and searching for the "herb of forgetfulness" to help her forget what she has desired so much, but unfortunately, it remains elusive.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be a lament for the difficulties and hardships of life that people face, but also an ode to the human spirit's strength that allows them to keep going, even in the toughest of times.
