El Asesino
Fidel Funes y Su Marimba Orquesta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hay te voy
Me llaman el asesino por hay
Y dicen me anda buscando la ley
Porque mate de manera legal
La que burlo mi querer
Segado de sentimiento y dolor
La que burlaba mi honra y mi ser
Mi vida y mi corazón
Ya está en el cielo juzgada por Dios
Y allá en lo alto si acoso me ve
Sabrá la ingrata que tuve razón
Sabrá cuanto la adore
Va la justicia buscándome a mí
Más no me entrego sin ver la ocasión
De ver al hombre que me hizo infeliz
Partirle su corazón
Veinte años que de sentencia me den
Con gusto voy mi delito a pagar
Pero antes quiero vengarme también
Del que me hizo criminal
Me llaman el asesino por hay
Y dicen me anda buscando la ley
Porque mate de manera legal
La que burlo mi querer
((Fidel Funes))
The lyrics of Fidel Funes y Su Marimba Orquesta's song, El Asesino, describe a man who is known as a killer and is being pursued by law enforcement. He explains that he committed the murder out of jealousy and hurt because the woman he loved had betrayed him. He feels that he had the right to kill her since she had disgraced him and shattered his heart.
The man is aware that the woman he killed has been judged by God in heaven, and if she's able to watch him from above, she would be aware of the intense love he had for her. The man also knows that the law is looking for him, but he's not ready to give himself up until he avenges the man who made his life miserable. The lyrics express his intention to kill this man before submitting himself to justice.
