Me hiere no me hiere
Fernando Alfaro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sí me hiere, es verdad
No me hiere esta vez
Sí me hiere otra vez
Dos hermanos buceando
De la mano van los dos
Dos hermanos buceando
Este fue el mensaje que te llegó
El correo en el buzón
Yo ya iría si la tormenta extraña de estos días
Me dejara
Y la tormenta se lo tragó
Como casi siempre se lo tragó
Si tú mandas yo obedezco
Si tú hablas actuaré
Tú ordenas, yo me someto
Tú deseas, yo también
Yo lo haría si la tormenta extraña de estos días
Me dejara
Este fue el mensaje que te llegó
Pero miraste en televisión
Todos los hombres y mujeres del tiempo
No pintaban más que sol, sol, sol
Como manchas de huevo, sol, sol, sol
Por todo el mapa sólo sol, sol, sol
Ni una nube, todo sol, sol, sol
No me hiere la verdad
Sí me hiere, es verdad
The song "Me hiere no me hiere" by Fernando Alfaro is a melancholic reflection on the pain caused by truth and uncertainty. The repetition of "No me hiere la verdad, Sí me hiere, es verdad," emphasizes the duality of feelings and how truth can be both comforting and hurtful. The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song, stating that the truth doesn't hurt but at the same time it can hurt.
The second stanza describes two brothers diving hand in hand, one screaming and the other quiet. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for how different people handle truth and uncertainty in life. Some may express their emotions more openly, while others keep their feelings hidden. The following lines mention a message received in the mailbox, but the storm prevents the singer from going to where they were supposed to be. This shows how the external world can limit our ability to act on truth or messages we receive.
There is a sense of powerlessness in the song, as the singer wants to follow orders and desires of others, but the unpredictable nature of life prevents them from doing so. The line "Tú ordenas, yo me someto,Tú deseas, yo también" suggests a submissive mentality, but it can also be seen as the singer's desire for someone to take control and make decisions for them.
Overall, the song is a reflection on the complex nature of truth and uncertainty, and the struggle to deal with them. It touches on themes of powerlessness, repression, and the desire for a clear path in life.
