Tu Angel Caido
La Frontera Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuando las chicas de la esquina
Abren su corazón,
Se que no soy un perdedor.
Mírame a la cara y no me hables de amor,
Puedo darte algo mejor.

Cuando las noches sean noches y los días sin sol,
Tú no te separes de mi.

Abriré tus tiernos ojos y oirás mi canción,
Sólo para ti, sólo para ti.

Todo ha ocurrido tan deprisa que no se muy bien
Cómo podré terminar.
Aplastado como un pájaro en el arcén
O atropellado por el último tren.

Los días han pasado y sólo espero que tú te acuerdes de mi.
Si los ríos se desbordan beberé en tu honor,
Beberé en tu honor.

Porque a tu lado perdido estoy,
A tu lado perdido estoy.
Mírame, sentirás como arde mi corazón.
Tu ángel caído soy.

Aunque las flores del asfalto me hablen de ti,
Siempre te querré olvidar.
Si las piedras me contaran una historia sin fin,
Sólo me hablarían de ti.

Cuando las noches sean noches y los días sin sol,
Tú no te separes de mi.
Abriré tus tiernos ojos y oirás mi canción,
Sólo para ti, sólo para ti.

Porque a tu lado perdido estoy,
A tu lado perdido estoy.
Mírame, sentirás como arde mi corazón.
Tu ángel caído soy,

Sentirás como arde mi corazón.
Tu ángel caído soy.

Overall Meaning

In La Frontera's song "Tu Angel Caido," the lyrics speak to the pain and longing of a lost love. The singer seems to be holding on to memories of a past relationship and struggling to move past it. The opening lines paint a picture of a down-and-out street corner, with the singer noting that when the "chicas de la esquina" (corner girls) open their hearts, he knows he's not a loser. He's looking for something better than just love, something that could make him feel whole again.

As the song progresses, the imagery shifts to highlight the singer's desperation and loneliness. The nights are dark and the days without sun, but he's holding onto the hope that he won't have to face them alone. He promises to sing to the woman he loves, to look into her eyes and make her feel his love burning within. However, he also acknowledges that everything has moved too fast, and he's at risk of being crushed like a bird on the highway or run over by the last train.

The chorus repeats that he's lost by her side, that he's her fallen angel. He can't forget her, no matter how hard he tries, and the lyrics suggest that the relationship ended against his will. The singer may be putting on a brave face, but the pain and longing in his voice reveal a deeper, hidden sorrow.
