Para ti siempre seré niño
José María Napoleón Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
siempre fiel a tu recuerdo tejiendo un sueño en la piel.
Todo te lo dí quizá por eso,
te vestiste de desprecio y me envolviste con él.
Todas mis palabras siempre fueron,
poca cosa nada nuevo en tu mundo de cartel.
*No te preocupes, guarda tu tiempo
Eres paloma que entre su cielo de negras nubes
no, déjame
Siempre te entregué mi mejor verso
mi mejor canción y aquello, de mi manera de ser.
Y todo para tí estupideces, eres niño
tu no creces, así me lo hiciste ver.
Y yo que en mi mundo te creía, te doy
esta despedida yo no soy lo que tu crees.
*No te preocupes, guarda tu tiempo
toma tu orgullo y vive con él
Eres paloma que entre su cielo, de negras nubes
no, déjame
Vete sé felíz a tu manera,
yo no soy ese cualquiera al que tu manejarás.
Sigue con tus poses y tus risas,
tus amigas y tus prisas tal vez un día entenderás.
A este que te dio la vida entera, que no
se quedó en la escuela por vivir la realidad.
* (se repite el coro 2 veces)
The lyrics of José María Napoleón's song "Para ti siempre seré niño" convey a sense of disappointment and betrayal, as the singer expresses his inability to understand the behavior of a former lover who has treated him with contempt and rejected his affection. The opening lines suggest a sense of longing for the person who has left him, as he had always waited for her return and kept her memory close to his heart. He had given her everything he had, perhaps too much, and in return, she had spurned him and made him feel unworthy of her love. The line "te vestiste de desprecio" implies that she had deliberately hurt him, and he feels as if he had been used and discarded.
The chorus urges the object of his affection to move on with her life and leave him behind, as he realizes that he cannot change her or make her love him. He compares her to a black cloud that obscures the sky for a dove, symbolizing the negativity that she brings into his life. He tells her to keep her pride and live with it, as he has no desire to be part of her world anymore. He feels that he has been foolish to believe in her, and he has finally come to the realization that she is not worth his time or his love.
The rest of the song emphasizes the differences between the two of them, as he has given her his best, while she has treated him with contempt and rejected him repeatedly. He feels that he has been reduced to a child, while she has remained unchanged and unaffected by his devotion. He urges her to be happy in her own way, while asserting that he is no longer willing to be manipulated by her. He has chosen to live his own reality and not be limited by her expectations or demands.
