Cobarde
Helenita Vargas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

EL COBARDE

No me digas que vas a matarte
si no voy a amarte, no me hagas, ja, ja, reir,
que tu no eres capaz de quitarte
la vida por nadie y menos por mi.

Tu ya sabes que no me interesan
las falsas promesas que una vez te di,
ni tendrás aunque estés muy borracho,
ni te hagas el macho, valor de morir.

Es cobarde no afrontar a su suerte
y entre copas pretende olvidar.
Si un amor se le va de repente,
el busca en la muerte, remedio a su mal.

MUSICA

Cuando un hombre ha jugado con tantas,
tendrá la revancha y tendrá que sufrir.
Es valiente aquel que se aguanta
y que no se cansa ni teme vivir.

Tu ya sabes que no me interesan
las falsas promesas que una vez te di,
ni tendrás aunque estés muy borracho,
ni te hagas el macho, valor pa'morir.





Ni tendrás aunque estés muy borracho
y te hagas el macho, balas pa'morir.

Overall Meaning

The song "Cobarde" by Helenita Vargas tells the story of a man who threatens to take his own life because he is not loved in return by the woman he desires. The singer acknowledges the man's pain, but also calls him out for his cowardice in not facing his problems head-on. She reminds him that she is not interested in his false promises and she would never ask him to die for her. The chorus emphasizes the theme of bravery, suggesting that it takes more courage to face one's problems and keep living than it does to seek escape in death.


The lyrics also suggest a cultural context in which machismo and heavy drinking are seen as markers of masculinity. The woman repeatedly warns the man not to try to prove his worth through such behaviors, and instead encourages him to show courage in the face of adversity. The message of the song is ultimately one of resilience and self-worth, as the singer rejects the idea that anyone should feel so despondent as to consider suicide over a failed romance.
