Por Amarte Tanto
Guillermo Davila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'd knock me off my feet
If I said you're a good girl
You'd bore me off my seat
You'll never see me walking
Down a guilty middle-class street
I'm frequently appalled
By them pretending to be poor men
I'd give you all I can now
I don't have enough arms for you
Ask the people with the real cash
Institutions who are taking yours and mine
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
It's written in the books
In the literature that I've read
Temporary blindness
Breezing through the fog again
You'll never see me walking
Down a guilty middle-class street
I'm frequently appalled
By them pretending to be poor men
I'd give you all I can now
I don't have enough arms for you
Ask the people with the real cash
Institutions who are taking yours and mine
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I never get enough of it
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
Bad bad bad!!!
In Guillermo Davila's song "Por Amarte Tanto," the lyrics speak to the singer's perception of society and their values. The first verse describes how the singer believes that if they were to call someone evil, that person would retaliate, but if they were to compliment someone and call them a good person, it would not interest them.

Instead, they denounce those who pretend to be poor.
The second verse shifts to the singer's love for someone and their desire to give that person everything they can, but they feel inadequate in their ability to do so. They suggest that the real cash lies with institutions who take from them and their beloved. The chorus repeats the singer's refusal to feel guilty or bad about their actions or beliefs. Finally, the bridge reveals the singer's insatiable desire for more, suggesting that they constantly crave something different or new.
Overall, "Por Amarte Tanto" conveys a sense of disillusionment with society's values and systems, as well as a rejection of conformity. It also highlights the singer's fierce love for someone and their willingness to do what they can to show it, despite feeling inadequate in their resources.

Esta canción es por mucho mejor que cualquier balada de Luis Miguel, y el arreglo musical ni se diga "power ballad"!

Esta canción la recuerdo de mi niñez .
Creo que era parte de una telenovela venezolana que se transmitió aquí en Chile .
Hermosa y romántica como la mayoría de esas canciones de los noventas .
