Ojo Por Ojo
Isabel Pantoja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
quieres con delirio
Y hasta pasas por mi calle con amores bajo el brazo
de castigo
Y le vendes a la gente tus novelas, tus patrañas, tus
mentiras
Pero tú sabes muy bien que cunado quiera volveré yo
a hacerte mío
Y hasta me han contado que con ese amor tú te has
comprometido
Y que irás frente a un altar para jurarle eternamente
tu cariño
Y es que estás jugando con el fuego y esa llama sin
saber te quema
Porque todo lo que haces es sólo para que contigo
vuelva
Piedras que me tiras sin pensarlo sobre mis espaldas
Son piedras que regresan y te hieren, que sólo a ti te
matan
Si un día tú escribiste aquel adiós sobre mi puerta
Pues ahora te me aguantas y te esperas hasta que yo
quiera
Si vieras como río cuando veo que tú te me acercas
Temblando como un pájaro indefenso
Voy a seguir, te juro, disfrutando esta comedia
Si de verdad tu te vieras
Y al final vas a aser mío, tú veras, cuando yo quiera
Ojo por ojo... diente por diente
Como se gana...también se pierde.
The lyrics of Isabel Pantoja's song "Ojo Por Ojo" speak about a person who denies their love for the singer in front of the world only to pass by her street with their new love interest. They sell stories to people about their false love, but they know that the singer will return to make them hers again. The singer knows that the person involved with them has committed to their new relationship by going ahead to swear eternal love in front of the altar. However, the person is only playing with fire and does not know that the flame will burn them. The singer feels like stones that the person throws at her, which only hurt them and does not affect the singer. She even has a good laugh out of the comedy and waits until she wants to take the person back again. The song's refrain states that actions have consequences, and one has to face them, just like the saying "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
The song is about love and betrayal, as the person involved with the singer is not true to her. The lyrics showcase the power dynamic involved in the relationship, where the singer knows that they hold more power and control, and the person involved is trying to move on with their new lover while still holding onto a shred of hope for the singer's return. The lyrics also allude to the fact that the person involved in the relationship is not transparent with people and sells them false stories. The song ends with the chorus about facing consequences for actions. The person involved in the relationship is throwing stones and will get hurt eventually.
