No Me Quieras Tanto
Isabel Pantoja Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo tenía viente años
Y él me doblaba la edad.
En mis seines había noche
Y en las suyas madrugada.
Antes que yo lo pensara
Mi gusto estaba cumplido;
Nada me faltaba con él,
Me quería con locura,
Con todos sus cinco sentidos.
Yo me dejaba querer.
Amor me pedía, como un pordiosero,
Y yo le clavaba,
Sin ver que sufría,
Cuchillos de acero.

No me quieras tanto,
Ni llores por mi;
No vale la pena
Que por mi cariño
Te pongas así.
Yo no se quererte lo mismo que tú,
Ni pasar la vida pendiente y esclava
De esa esclavitud.
No te pongas triste,
Sécate ese llanto
Hay que estar alegre.
Mírame y aprende.
No me quieras tanto.

Con los años y la vida
Ha cambiado mi querer,
Y ahora busco de sus labios
Lo que entonces desprecié.
Cegadita de cariño
Yo le ruego que me ampare,
Que me tenga caridad;
Se lo pido de rodillas, por la Gloria de su madre
Y no me sirve de nada.
Como una mendiga estoy a su puerta
Y con mis palabras mi pena castiga
Dejándome muerta.

No me quieras tanto,
Ni llores por mi;
No vale la pena
Que por mi cariño
Te pongas así.
Yo no se quererte lo mismo que tú,
Ni pasar la vida pendiente y esclava
De esa esclavitud.
No te pongas triste,
Sécate ese llanto
Hay que estar alegre.
Mírame y aprende.
No me quieras tanto.

De todo lo del mundo sería capaz
Con tal que el cariño que tú me tuviste
Volviera a empezar.
Por lo que más quieras,
Sécame esta llanto.




Maldigo la hora que yo a ti te dije:
¡No me quieras tanto!

Overall Meaning

"No Me Quieras Tanto" is a beautiful and melancholic song that talks about a relationship between a younger woman and an older man. The singer tells us that she was 20 years old, and he was much older than her. He loved her with all his senses and begged for her love, but she didn't feel the same way. She accepted his love, but she didn't understand how much he loved her until later in life when she realized that she needed him more than she thought.


The song talks about how time changes our desires and how we don't always know what we want until it's too late. The singer didn't know what she wanted when she was younger, but now she realizes that the man she rejected loved her more than she knew. She regrets telling him not to love her so much because now she needs him.


The song's message is sad, but it's also a reminder to cherish the people who love us and not take them for granted. We never know what we want in life until it's too late, and this song shows us that we need to appreciate the love we have while we still have it.
