La Rondalla De Saltillo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando aun podía
Porque no te abrasé la vida
Cuando la tenía
Y yo que no me daba cuenta
Cuanto te dolía
Y yo que no sabía
El daño que me hacia
Que ya no sonreías
Y que antes de apagar la luz
Ya nada me decías
Que aquel amor se te escapo
Que había llegado el día
Que ya no me sentías
Que ya ni te dolía
Me dedique a perderte
Y me ausente en momentos
Que se han ido para siempre
Me dedique a no verte
Y me encerré en mi mundo
Y no pudiste detenerme
Y me aleje mil veces
Y cuando regrese
Te había perdido para siempre
Y quise detenerte
Entonces descubrí
Que ya mirabas diferente
Me dedique a perderte
Me dedique a perderte
Porque no te llene de mí
Cuando aun había tiempo
Porque no pude comprender
Lo que hasta ahora entiendo
Que fuiste todo para mí
Y que yo estaba ciego
Te deje para luego
Este maldito tiempo
Me dedique a perderte
Y me ausente en momentos
Que se han ido para siempre
Me dedique a no verte
Y me encerré en mi mundo
Y no pudiste detenerme
Y me aleje mil veces
Y cuando regrese
Te había perdido para siempre
Y quise detenerte
Entonces descubrí
Que ya mirabas diferente
Me dedique a perderte
Me dedique a perderte
The lyrics to La Rondalla de Saltillo's song Me Dedique a Perderte (I Dedicated Myself to Losing You) express the regret and sorrow of a person who realizes they didn't appreciate their significant other while they were still together. The singer acknowledges that they didn't kiss their partner in the soul when they had the chance, nor did they embrace life while they had it. They were unaware of how much their actions hurt their significant other and didn't notice that their partner stopped smiling and stopped communicating with them. The singer realizes too late that they were losing the person they loved and that they dedicated themselves to losing them. They absent themselves during moments that are gone forever, they dedicate themselves to not seeing themselves in their partner, and they lock themselves in their world, and their partner couldn't stop them.
The regretful speaker reflects on their lost opportunity to fill their significant other completely and that they didn't comprehend how much their partner meant to them. They let go, thinking they would come back to their partner later, only to realize that they dedicated themselves to losing their loved one. The singer tries to stop their partner, but they realize that their partner has already moved on and looks at them differently. Ultimately, the singer understands that they failed to appreciate their partner, and they regret losing them.
