Deuda
Iva Zanicchi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tú eres así
El alma entera te di
Y te burlaste
Tranquilamente
De mi pasión
Y la razón
Se impone al fin
Sé que sufrirás
Porque tú hiciste sufrir mi corazón
Es una deuda que tienes que pagar
Como se pagan las deudas del amor
No voy a llorar
Porque la vida es la escuela del dolor
Donde se aprende muy bien a soportar
Las penas de una cruel desilusión
Por qué
Tú eres así
El alma entera te di
Y te burlaste
Tranquilamente
De mi pasión
Si triunfa el bien sobre el mal
Y la razón
Se impone al fin
Sé que sufrirás
Porque tú hiciste sufrir mi corazón
Es una deuda que tienes que pagar
Como se pagan las deudas del amor
No voy a llorar
Porque la vida es la escuela del dolor
Donde se aprende muy bien a soportar
Las penas de una cruel desilusión
The song Deuda by Iva Zanicchi is sung in Spanish and is a song about a past lover who has hurt the singer deeply. The lyrics speak of how the singer gave their entire soul to this lover but was merely laughed at and ridiculed for their passion. They hold the belief that good will eventually triumph over evil and that logic will always prevail, but that this past lover will suffer for their actions. The singer sees it as a debt that must be paid, much like how debts of love must be repaid.
