Ironically, the group's only Number One Latin chart hit was the single "A Capa y Espada," one of the only Industria del Amor songs that doesn't feature the vocals of singer Roberto Verduzco. Though the group's singles began to fade from the charts toward the end of the '90s, Industria del Amor's albums continued to chart. The groups' continuing popularity was confirmed with the release of two greatest-hits packages, 30 Inolvidables and 30 Inolvidables, Vol. 2, both of which were Top 20 Latin chart hits in 2003.

Es Un Ladron
Industria Del Amor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

El no sabe el dolor
Que le ha causado a mi corazón
Nunca sabrá cuanto te amo yo

El jamás podrá
Quererte igual como lo hago yo
Y dar la vida solo por tu amor
El sabe te engañe y te enamoro

El es un ladrón que me robo tu cariño
Pues el no sabe que sin ti yo no vivo
Es un ladrón que me dejo tan vació
Ese ladrón me robo la ilusión y la razón porque vivo

El jamás podrá
Quererte igual como lo hago yo
Y dar la vida solo por tu amor
El sabe te engañe y te enamoro

El es un ladrón que me robo tu cariño
Pues el no sabe que sin ti yo no vivo
Es un ladrón que me dejo tan vació
Ese ladrón me robo la ilusión y la razón porque vivo

El es un ladrón que me robo tu cariño
Pues el no sabe que sin ti yo no vivo
Es un ladrón que me dejo tan vació
Ese ladrón me robo la ilusión y la razón porque vivo

El es un ladrón que me robo tu cariño

Pues el no sabe que sin ti yo no vivo
Es un ladrón que me dejo tan vació

Overall Meaning

The song "Es Un Ladron" by Industria Del Amor (The Industry of Love) is a heartfelt expression of the pain caused by an unfaithful lover.

The lyrics imply that the singer's love for their partner is selfless and all-consuming, to the point where they would give their life for the person they love.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "El es un ladron" (He is a thief) to describe the person who took away the singer's love and left them feeling empty and without meaning. The song paints a vivid picture of heartbreak and loss, with the singer wishing the person who caused them so much pain could understand the true extent of their actions. The song is a powerful example of the emotion and passion that can be conveyed through music, particularly in the context of romantic relationships gone awry.
