Jimmy Gonzalez y Grupo Mazz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Que lastima,
Que yo siendo un cancionero que compone mil canciones
No he podido escribir una, que te haga regresar

Que lastima,
Que le canto al mundo entero y consuelo corazones
Pero hoy que el mio es triste, no lo puedo consolar

Que lastima me da
Saber que ya no estas
Que solo tu perfume en mi ropa quedara

Que lastima me da
Saber que te perdi
Que ya no soy el mismo yo sin ti

Que lastima,
Que yo siendo un cancionero que compone mil canciones
No he podido escribir una, que te haga regresar

Que lastima,
Que le canto al mundo entero y consuelo corazones
Pero hoy que el mio es triste, no lo puedo consolar

Que lastima me da
Saber que ya no estas
Que solo tu perfume en mi ropa quedara

Que lastima me da
Saber que te perdi
Que ya no soy el mismo yo sin ti

Que lastima me da
Saber que ya no estas
Que solo tu perfume en mi ropa quedara

Que lastima me da
Saber que te perdi
Que yo ya no soy el mismo,, yo sin ti

Que lastima me da

Saber que ya no estas
Que solo tu perfume en mi ropa quedara

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jimmy Gonzalez y Grupo Mazz's song "Que Lastima" convey the profound feelings of sadness, regret, and loneliness that arise from losing a loved one. The song's opening lines express the irony of the singer's position as a prolific songwriter who has been unable to compose a single song that could bring his lost love back. He laments that despite his ability to sing to the whole world and console their hearts, he cannot console his own broken heart. The repetition of "Que lastima" throughout the song highlights the depth of these emotions, emphasizing the singer's sense of loss and disappointment.

As the song progresses, the singer delves deeper into his feelings of sorrow and longing, describing the pain of knowing that his love is gone and that he will never be the same without them. The repeated phrase, "saber que ya no estas" ("knowing that you are no longer here"), reinforces the finality of this loss, while the image of the loved one's perfume lingering on the singer's clothes serves as a poignant reminder of what has been lost.
