Ilegales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que a pesar del tiempo tu no me olvidas
Que andas como loca en cada esquina
Perdida, perdida yaya
Ahora te das cuenta, arrepentida
Que un amor sincero no se descuida
Te mueve el silencio, me necesitas
Y lloras, herida
Y ahora te toca llorar, llorar y llorar
Por no saber valorarme ahh
Y ahora te toca sufrir, ya yo no soy para ti
Baby, ya se te hizo tarde
Y ahora te toca llorar, llorar y llorar
Por no saber valorarme
Y ahora te toca sufrir, ya yo no soy para ti
Baby, ya se te hizo tarde
No, no, no
Ya se acabo
Ya no hay mas dolor
Ya no queda nada, nada
Ya se acabo, todo termino
Ya no queda nada
Ahora no me digas que estas perdida
Y que mis recuerdos son como espinas
Que duele por dentro y te lastima
Mentiras, mentira
Ahora te das cuenta, arrepentida
Que un amor sincero no se descuida
Te mueve el silencio, me necesitas
Y lloras, herida
Y ahora te toca llorar, llorar y llorar
Por no saber valorarme ahh
Y ahora te toca sufrir, ya yo no soy para ti
Baby, ya se te hizo tarde
Y ahora te toca llorar, llorar y llorar
Por no saber valorarme
Y ahora te toca sufrir, ya yo no soy para ti
Baby, ya se te hizo tarde
Oooh
Ya se acabo
Ya no hay mas dolor
Ya no queda nada, nada
Ya se acabo, todo termino
Ya no queda nada
No, No, No
Ya se acabo
Ya no hay mas dolor
Ya no queda nada, nada
Ya se acabo, todo termino
Ya no queda nada
Ahora no me digas que soy tu vida
Que a pesar del tiempo tu no me olvidas
Que andas como loca en cada esquina
Perdida, perdida yaya
The lyrics of Ilegales' song Perdida convey a story of a lost love that was not valued until it was gone. The persona of the song opens by warning their former lover, who is lost and wandering the streets desperately looking for them, not to claim that they are their entire life or that despite how much time has passed, they cannot forget them. The former lover is portrayed as unstable, wandering about like a mad person. However, the persona of the song is over the situation and has moved on. The person realizes that a genuine love requires nurturing, and their ex-lover is now experiencing deep regret for neglecting them.
The chorus brings out the persona's frustration towards the former lover, who never valued them. They cannot believe that they are the one now crying and being hurt. The persona admonishes them for not realizing and cherishing the love they once had. The bridge of the song shows that the persona has moved on and the love has ended, leaving nothing behind.
