Las Rejas No Matan
Javier Solís Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si hasta en mi propia cara
Coqueteabas mi vida
Qué será a mis espaldas
Y yo preso por ti

Unos guardias me han dicho
Que ya tú andas perdida
Y que ya ni te acuerdas
Lo que hiciste de mí

¿Qué rumbo tomaste mi vida?
¿Qué puerta a tu paso se abrió?
¿Qué luna te espera angustiada?
Oyendo tu nombre
Oyendo mi voz

¿Qué labios te cierran los ojos?
Los ojos que a besos cerré
Auroras que son puñaladas
Las rejas no matan
Pero sí tu maldito querer

¡Pobre de ti, Javier!

¿Qué labios te cierran los ojos?
Los ojos que a besos cerré
Auroras que son puñaladas




Las rejas no matan
Pero si tu maldito querer

Overall Meaning

The song "Las Rejas No Matan" by Mexican singer Javier Solís is a heartbreaking ballad about a man who has been betrayed by the woman he loves. The singer sings about how the woman he loved was a flirt, even in front of him, which makes him wonder what she was doing behind his back. The lyrics tell us that the man is now imprisoned because of her, and that guards have informed him that she has moved on and forgotten about him. He is left alone and broken-hearted, wondering what his life will become.


The chorus of the song expresses the pain he is feeling, asking what path she has taken in life, what door was opened for her, and what moon awaits her. He questions who will close her eyes and who will keep her company. The lyrics suggest that even though the man is suffering and locked up, he still cares for the woman who betrayed him.


The final lines of the chorus point out that prison bars don't kill people, but rather the words and actions of the person they love. The song is a powerful representation of how betrayal can cut deeply and how love can cause both happiness and hurt.

Who closes your eyes with their lips that were once closed by mine with kisses, and dawns that are like stabs - the bars don't kill, but your cursed desire does

Mencionaste a los mas grandes iconos de mi querida patria. Pero ningunooo de ellos como Javier. Ni Jorge con todo su vocerron, ni Pedro con todo su carisma, y ni el gran compositor inigualable de Jose Alfredo. Nadie como el.
Saludos a la bella Colombia. Y gracias por apreciar tanto nuestra musica y nuestros cantantes.
Saludos desde Oregon, USA.

En Puerto Rico mi querida madre ponía este disco sin parar. En ese entonces, siendo una niña, no podía apreciarlo como ahora. Qué voz y qué hombre...♡. Y el mariachi impecable...
