Se me parte el bobo en dos
La Mona Jiménez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
haciendo trampa en esta vida
que me olvidara de su amor
no hiciera caso al corazón
que a cambio fuego me darías.
Contigo me fuí a vivir
y abandoné un día a Juanita
guarde en un cofre el corazón
pero el fuego se termina.
Y se me parte el bobo en dos,
Y se me parte el bobo en dos
si supiera que me ama
buscaría a Juanita.
Aquello si era amor
y no pasión de algunos días
se paga fuerte el error
cuando uno olvida el corazón
y le hace caso solo al cuerpo.
Y me dejé por ti llevar
y abandoné un día a Juanita
lo nuestro nunca fue amor
por eso hoy te digo adiós
y cada uno con su vida.
Y se me parte el bobo en dos,
Y se me parte el bobo en dos
si supiera que me ama
buscaría a Juanita.
The lyrics to La Mona Jimenez's song "Se me parte el bobo en dos" describe the regrets of a man who betrayed his true love for the sake of a passionate but short-lived affair. He acknowledges that he made a mistake by ignoring his heart and succumbing to his physical desires, and now he wishes he had stayed with his former partner, Juanita. He is torn between two conflicting emotions, symbolized by the phrase "se me parte el bobo en dos," which roughly translates to "my head is splitting in two." If he knew that his former lover still loved him, he would try to reconcile with her, but he understands that his actions have consequences, and that he must live with his choices.
The lyrics also explore the difference between love and passion, and how the latter can be fleeting and ultimately unfulfilling. The singer's affair with the person he left Juanita for was based on physical attraction and not true love, and he now realizes that he traded something real and lasting for a temporary thrill. He acknowledges that he has paid a heavy price for his mistake, and that he can never regain what he lost.
Overall, "Se me parte el bobo en dos" is a poignant meditation on the consequences of betraying one's true feelings and the importance of listening to one's heart when making decisions.
