Si tú me quisieras
La Mafia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si tu me quisieras
Yo te lo aseguro
Que serás mi reina
Why hasta te trajera
Desde el infinito
Todas las estrellas

Te pondré un letrero

Con nubes del cielo
En el que dijera
Lo mucho que te quiero
Que por te muero
Why quiero que me quieras

Pero no me quieres
Esa es mi tristeza
Pero yo te adoro
Ese es mi problema
Por eso mi vida
Si tu eres mi reina
Yo no necesito
Ni nubes ni estrellas
Pero ni quererte
Ni amarte me dejas

Que bonito fuera
Si tu me quisieras

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to La Mafia's song Si Tu Me Quisieras is a classic love ballad about the struggles of unrequited love. The song is sung from the perspective of a man who is deeply in love with a woman who doesn't reciprocate his feelings. He promises her that if she were to love him, she would become his queen, and he would do anything to please her, even bringing her all the stars from the infinite universe. He would even create a sign in the sky with clouds that express how much he loves her and how he would die for her, hoping that she would love him back.

However, she doesn't love him and it saddens him deeply. He adores her, but it's his problem that he cannot let go of his love for her. He values her so much that having her in his life as his Queen, he wouldn't need anything else, not even the stars. He is heartbroken that she doesn't love him, and he wishes for a world where she loved him back, but alas, he cannot force anyone to love him.

There is a bittersweet undertone to the lyrics in which the man is resigned to the fact that he cannot make someone love him, but he cannot help his feelings for her either. It is a common experience for many people, and the song captures the essence of this feeling beautifully.
