Por Tí
Kumbiambe Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rosa prohibida
Que siempre abres mi herida
Eres como un suero
Que me quema como fuego.

Me haces pecar por ti.
Pecar por ti.
Pecar... por ti.

Me haces por ti.
Pecar asi.
Pecar... por ti
.
Why eres pecadora
Aunque luzcas de señora.
Parece que en tus sueños
De tu cuerpo soy el dueño.

Se que pecas por mi.
Pecas por mi.
Pecas... por mi.
Why yo pecaré por ti.
Pecar por ti.
Pecar... por ti.

Dejame vivir a mi manera.
Tu puedes soñarme en la bañera.
Dejame vivir tus fantasías.
Soñemos el resto de esta vida.

why hazme pecar por ti.
Pecar por ti.
Pecar... por ti.
Why yo pecaré por ti.
Pecar asi.
Pecar... por ti.

why yo pecaré why pecaré otra vez.
Yo no se...
Porque...
Esto tiene que ser asi.

Pecar asi.
Pecar... por ti.

Overall Meaning

The song "Por Tí" by Kumbiambe talks about a forbidden love, represented by the "rosa prohibida" (forbidden rose). The rose always opens the singer's wound, and is compared to a serum that burns like fire. The singer is being tempted to sin because of the person they are singing to ("me haces pecar por ti"), and recognizes that even though the other person may look like a respectable lady ("parece que en tus sueños, de tu cuerpo soy el dueño"), they are still a sinner. The lyrics show a blurred line between right and wrong, as the singer wants to live their life their way and indulge in their fantasies with the other person.

The repetition of the phrase "pecar por ti" emphasizes the sin and temptation involved in the relationship. The use of "rosa prohibida" adds a layer of complexity to the lyrics, portraying the relationship as one that cannot happen due to social norms and expectations. The chorus "dejame vivir a mi manera" (let me live my way) shows the singer's defiance towards societal expectations and their desire for freedom in the relationship. The last line "yo no se, porque, esto tiene que ser asi" (I don't know why, why this has to be this way) portrays the confusion and conflict within the singer's mind about the relationship.
