Created in 1994 by bandmember Patricia Sirvent, initially with five members after one of them dropped out of the project before the first album was recorded in 1996, the group remained as a four-piece until 2007 when it changed into a three-piece after changes in each of their albums, one of these included Dulce María (From 2000-2002) who would later become part of the successful Mexican pop group RBD.
The group released six studio albums (plus a full re-working of one of their albums) in the course of 12 years.
Tonta
Jeans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que con verte sonreír
Se me dobla el esqueleto
Te miro y me enamoro cada vez
Mas a fondo tanto que
Eres mi único alimento
Alma gemela
No quiero ni saber
Prendió la mecha
Tonta
Ni mas ni menos tonta
Tan ciega como sorda
Te quiero
Tonta
Completamente idiota
No me cabe en la boca
Mas que tu amargo veneno
Los días que me quedan por vivir
Me gustaría quemarlos junto a ti
Tan salvajes como intensos
Estoy llorando de felicidad
No te atreves a dudar
De que lo que digo es cierto
Tras las puertas
En otra dimensión
Hay un volcán de amor
Que nos espera
Tonta, ni mas ni menos tonta
Tan ciega como sorda
Te quiero
Tonta
Completamente idiota
No me cabe en la boca
Otra cosa que tus besos
Tonta
Ni mas ni menos tonta
Tan ciega como sorda
Te quiero
Tonta
Completamente idiota
No me cabe en la boca
Otra cosa mas golosa
Que la rosa escandalosamente
Loca
De un te quiero.
The song Tonta by Jeans is a romantic love song that expresses deep feelings of being unable to live without their significant other. The singer confesses that they are completely in love with their partner and that the sight of their smile can make their whole body weak. This person has become their everything, their source of love and sustenance. The lyrics suggest that this love is so intense that the singer is willing to burn the rest of their days with their lover in wild and intense passion.
The chorus repeats the word tonta, which means "foolish" or "silly" in English. The singer is aware of the depth of their love and acknowledges their foolishness for being so consumed by their lover. The repetition of the word tonta is perhaps a self-deprecating admission that their love is irrational and emotional.
Throughout the song, the singer also emphasizes that they do not care about the opinions of others nor the circumstances that led them to love each other. There is a sense of recklessness and abandon in the way they describe their love, as if nothing else matters to them. The last line of the song, "Que la rosa escandalosamente loca de un te quiero," can be translated as "The scandalously crazy rose of an I love you," which is a vivid and poetic way of expressing the extravagance of their love.
