Celos
Fernando Villalona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si miento al decirte que te quiero
Que se quede sin aliento mi pobre alma
Porque siento que te llevo muy adentro
Que se quede el universo sin humanos
Ay si no te amo
Que se sequen las quebradas de los campos
No me digas que tu ya no me quieres
Te molesta que me miren las mujeres
Son los celos que te tienen dominada
Y tu eres la unica perjudicada
Que se quede el universo sin humanos
Ay si no te amo
Que se sequen las quebradas de los campos
Si de ti no vivo enamorado.
In Fernando Villalona's song Celos, the lyrics express the intense feeling of jealousy in a romantic relationship. The singer states that he would rather the universe be without stars or humans, and even his own soul without breath, than to lie to his lover about his love for her. The intensity of his emotions is conveyed through his declaration that he feels her deeply within him. The lyrics also express the idea that the singer's love for his partner is a life source, and without her, he would wither away like the dried up rivers and fields.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's jealousy towards his lover's attention to other men, and how it affects their relationship. He recognizes that his partner may be dominated by her jealousy, but ultimately the only one hurt by this is her. The lyrics suggest that the jealousy stems from a deep love for one another, and the desire to be the only one in each other's lives.
Overall, the lyrics of Celos beautifully capture the complexity of love and the negative impact that jealousy can have on a romantic relationship. The song encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationships and how they can work to overcome their jealousy to maintain a healthy and happy partnership.
