Te Parto El Alma
Jose Guadalupe Esparza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando éramos felices
Que nada en éste mundo nos podía separar
Te acuerdas
Que nos quisimos tanto
Que cada beso nuestro
Al cielo iba a parar
Después por todo el mundo
Feliz andas pasando
No, ya no me quiero acordar
Si hasta el rezo que es de Dios
Me sabe amargo
Lograste hundirme hasta el final
Ya estoy hasta donde ya
Ya no se puede
Jugué mi vida y la perdí
Maldito sea tu amor que aún me hiere
Y ahora te atreves a pedirme
Que pase el trago amargo
De mirarnos las caras
No, no se te ocurra volver
Porque si te vuelvo a ver
Te parto el alma
Lograste hundirme hasta el final
Ya estoy hasta donde ya
Ya no se puede
Jugué mi vida y la perdí
Maldito sea tu amor que aún me hiere
Y ahora te atreves a pedirme
Que pase el trago amargo
De mirarnos las caras
No, no se te ocurra volver
Porque si te vuelvo a ver
Te parto el alma
The song "Te Parto el Alma" by Jose Guadalupe Esparza talks about a past relationship that ended badly. The song invites the audience to remember the happy times they shared when nothing in the world could separate them. They loved each other so much that every kiss they shared felt like it reached the heavens. However, suddenly one day, the relationship ended, and she left him. He doesn't understand why she left, but he sees her happy without him. He tries to forget her and even says that the prayers he used to say to God now taste bitter in his mouth.
The chorus talks about how she broke his heart completely, and now he is at a point where he can't be hurt anymore. He says he played his life and lost all because of her, and maldito sea tu amor que ah me hiere (damn your love that still hurts me). Even though she hurt him that much, he still has the audacity to ask him to pass the bitter drink of confronting each other. He warns her not to come near him again because if he sees her, he will break her soul.
The song's powerful lyrics describe the intensity of the relationship they had and the pain he suffered when it ended. The story told in the song has a universal appeal, as many people can relate to heartbreak and the difficulties of moving on from a past love.
