Dueña de Mi Inspiración
Gabino Pampini Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

donde esta mi mami,
torturita no, dulzurita si, torturita no,
donde esta la dueña de mi amor,
donde esta mi corazon,
hace tiempo que no se de ti,
me enloquese esta pasion,
donde esta mi amante corazon,
dueña de mi inspiracion,

yo no te puedo olvidar, aunque quisiera,
no podre dejarte de querer, toda la vida,
tu jamas podras querer, como me has querido a mi,
yo fui tu primer amor, que no se olvida,
yo quisiera verte, verte una vez mas,
aunque sea la ultima vez,
ausencia ingrata como torturas mi vida,
suelta negra suelta,
donde esta la dueña de mi amor,
la mami que es toda mi inspiracion,
ausencia ingrata como torturas mi vida,
te estoy pidiento ternura,
porque me canse de tanta tortura,
ausencia ingrata como torturas mi vida,
ausencia tu que pensabas poner,
alivio a mi penar,
ausencia ingrata como torturas mi vida,
yo, yo estoy loco por volver a disfutar,
mamita linda, de tu hermosura,
ausencia ingrata como torturas mi vida,
hace tiempo que no se de ti,
donde quiera que estes deseo que seas feliz,
ausencia ingrata como torturas mi vida,
no, no podras encontrar quien te pueda querer,
como yo, jamas en la vida,
ausencia ingrata como torturas mi vida,

ausencia,
tu que pensabas poner alivio a mi penar,
suelta negra suelta,

ricura dulzura, tortura,
no, no, no, no, no, no mas de eso no,
margarita llego maelo fumando caña,
dicen que la ausencia causa olvido,
descubri que eso es mentira,
ausencia ingrata como torturas mi vida,
tortura no quiero mas mamita ven ven,
y dame ricura,
ausencia ingrata como torturas mi vida,
quisiera verte, quisiera verte, mamita linda,
y luego tenerte,

ausencia ingrata como torturas mi vida,
suelta negra suelta.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gabino Pampini's song "Dueña de Mi Inspiración" explore the pain and longing caused by the absence of a loved one, specifically the singer's mother ("mi mami") and the woman who is the "dueña" or owner of his love and inspiration. The lyrics showcase the singer's deep-seated love and inability to forget those who have left his life, despite the torture of their absence. He pleads for tenderness and respite from the agony caused by these losses, expressing a desire to see and hold his loved ones once more before ultimately admitting that their absence remains a pervasive and tormenting force in his life.

The use of contrasting terms, such as "torturita" and "dulzurita," highlights the complex emotions at play in the singer's heart. The repetition of the phrase "ausencia ingrata como torturas mi vida" ("unwelcome absence, how you torture my life") emphasizes the central theme of the song and reinforces the deep emotional impact of loss and longing.

Some possible interpretations of the song could address themes such as the difficulty of letting go, the beauty and pain of memories, and the enduring power of love.
