Jose Luis Perales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
mañana dudas y me haces temblar.
Hoy vuelas al sol,
mañana lloras en la oscuridad.
Cómo te burlas de mí.
Cómo te burlas de mí.
Hoy quieres hablar,
Hoy eres verdad,
mañana vuelves de nuevo a mentir.
Cómo te burlas de mí.
Cómo te burlas de mí.
Ay corazón, que difícil creer en tí,
que me elevas hasta las nubes
y me clavas en el silencio.
Ay corazón, que difícil creer en tí,
que me pones dos alas blancas
y me escapo a volar contigo.
Ay corazón.
Hoy voy a cambiar,
voy a olvidarme un minuto de de tí.
Hoy, una vez más,
voy a intentar escaparme otra vez.
Por qué te burlas de mí.
Por qué te burlas de mí.
Ay corazón, que difícil creer en tí,
que me elevas hasta las nubes
y me clavas en el silencio.
Ay corazón, que difícil creer en tí,
que me pones dos alas blancas
y me escapo a volar contigo.
Ay corazón, que difícil creer en tí,
que me elevas hasta las nubes
y me clavas en el silencio.
Ay corazón, que difícil creer en tí,
que me pones dos alas blancas
y me escapo a volar contigo.
Ay corazón.
The lyrics of José Luis Perales's song Ay corazón express the confusion, pain, and frustration that the singer experiences in a relationship where the other person constantly changes their mind and emotions. The first stanza describes the other person's inconsistency in their actions and feelings towards the singer, causing them to feel uncertain and fearful. The second stanza continues with this theme of inconsistency, now highlighting the other person's silence and lies that cause the singer to suffer. The chorus expresses the singer's difficulty in trusting their heart, which alternately lifts them up and plunges them into silence. Despite feeling betrayed by their own heart, the singer still longs for the joy and freedom that love can offer.
The final stanza reveals a moment of decision for the singer, who declares that they will try to forget about the other person and escape their emotional rollercoaster. However, they still question why their heart continues to be deceived by this person. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the ongoing struggle of the singer to believe in love.
Overall, the lyrics of Ay corazón offer a poignant and relatable portrait of the pain and uncertainty that can accompany love and relationships.
