1) Rock band formed in 1980. The following year they won the Villa de Oviedo contest and get to publish 3 tracks in a compilation. Their first LP, called Ilegales, appeared in 1982, and since then they've consistently been one of the main Spanish rock bands.

2) Dominican "merenhouse" quartet. Their hits "La Morena", "Fiesta Caliente", "Las Mujeres", "Taqui Taqui", and "La otra" were very popular in all Latin America and in the Hispanic market in the US during the late 90's. Now the band plays bachata, as in their single "Mátame".

La Ladrona
Ilegales Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mi corazón es delicado
Tiene que estar muy bien cuidado
Trátalo bien
Si lo has robado
Cuidame, quiéreme, bésame... así.

Tú... eres la ladrona
Que me robó el corazón

Que yo guardaba
Para mañana

Tú por qué razón
Sin avisar
Me hiciste amar
Lo que es la vida
Me enamoré de ti

Mi corazón es delicado
Tiene que estar muy bien cuidado
Trátalo bien
Si lo has robado
Cuidame, quiéreme, bésame, mímame

Mi corazón es delicado
Tiene que estar muy bien cuidado
Trátalo bien
Si lo has robado
Cuidame, quiéreme, bésame, mímame... siiii

Tú por que razón...

Mi corazón es delicado
Porque una vez fue lastimado
(Mi corazon fue lastimado
Por eso ahora es delicado)

Mi corazón es delicado (es delicado)
Porque una vez fue lastimado
(Alíviame, ven cúrame... necesito una chica como tú aqui a mi lado)

Mi corazón es delicado
Porque una vez fue lastimado
(Hay una chica linda estoy buscando para que me alivie el corazón lastimado)

Mi corazón es delicado
Porque una vez fue lastimado

Pobre de mi corazón
No tengo amor mor
Pobre de mi corazón
Que hago yo yo.
Pobre de mi corazón
Que ya no late
óyeme morena porque tu me dejaste
Solo y olvídado
Pobrecito
Solo y maltratado
Pobrecito
Te necesito cariño
Así de bárbaro ven conmigo

Mi corazón es delicado
Tiene que estar muy bien cuidado
Trátalo bien

Si lo has robado
Cuidame, quiéreme, bésame, mímame... siiii
