La mano en el fuego
Fangoria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sabiendo que estoy como estoy
es un desafío,
un loco desvarío,
capricho intolerable
No pretendas improvisar
sentencias con que condenar
no he cometido, es todo
cuanto pido
La mano en el fuego
así te sigo el juego
me quemo siempre por tú
he renunciado al cielo,
me arrastro por el suelo
La mano en el fuego
y ya veremos luego
no lo hago sólo por mí
y no me voy a arrepentir
Bien, dejemos el tiempo correr
pensando que no habrá otra vez
que ya no eres mio, que no soy tan
frío, abismo insoportable
No, no tengo motivos
y sí, mucho que perder
Pero siento las llamas tan
cerca, abrazándome,
abrasándome...
La mano en el fuego
así te sigo el juego
me quemo siempre por ti
he renunciado al cielo,
me arrastro por el suelo
La mano en el fuego
y ya veremos luego
no lo hago sólo por mí
y no me voy a arrepentir
The first verse of the song "La mano en el fuego" talks about a challenging situation faced by the singer where someone said something to him knowing that he is already in a difficult state. The singer describes this as a crazy idea that he cannot tolerate. He urges the person not to pass judgment and condemn him for sins and vices he has not committed yet. Then the chorus comes in with the phrase "La Mano en el Fuego” (hand in fire) which is an idiomatic expression in Spanish that means to be so sure about something that you would put your hand in the fire for it. Here, it's a declaration of love which follows the pattern of the first verse but with a positive twist. The singer says that they are ready to take the risk of putting their hand on the fire for someone, which means they will do anything to stand by that person even if it means sacrificing their own virtues.
The second verse portrays the inevitability of change and how it's hard for the singer to imagine a future without the person they sing about. He knows he has no reason to keep holding on, but he refuses to let go of this person, even if it burns him. The chorus repeats, suggesting that the idea of loving someone so much that you would put your hand in the fire for them is both dangerous and exhilarating. The final lines are a culmination of the idea of love being able to overpower logic and reason. It is the singer’s belief that they will not repent for standing by the person they love.
