Te Esperare
La Rondalla De Saltillo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
para siempre de mi mente
pues no quiero que me siga haciendo daño
Yo que siempre le di un amor sincero
no puedo soportar su indiferencia es por eso que a ti mi cristo viejo e venido a cantarte de mi pena.
Dime por favor que debo hacer porque no la quiero maldecir,
y es que muy herido me quede al saber que se burló de mi.
Dime cristo viejo por favor
porque no le voy a perdonar que tan solo jugara con mi amor.
...
Yo que siempre le di un amor sincero,
no puedo soportar su indiferencia es por eso que a ti mi cristo viejo e venido a cantarte de mi pena
Dime por favor que debo hacer por que no la quiero maldecir,
y es que muy herido me quede al saber que se burló de mi.
Dime cristo viejo por favor
como hacer que pague su traición,
porque no le voy a perdonar que tan solo jugara con mi amor.
The lyrics in La Rondalla de Saltillo's song Te Esperare tell the story of a person who is heartbroken and seeking a miracle from their old Christ to help them forget about their past lover. The singer explains how they gave their sincere love to their former partner, but they cannot bear the pain of their indifference. The chorus asks for guidance, seemingly torn between wanting to curse their ex-lover for betraying them, but also not wanting to give into those negative emotions.
The repeated plea to the "cristo viejo," or old Christ, signifies a deep hope for spiritual and emotional healing. The lyrics suggest that perhaps forgiveness may be the answer, but it is not an easy path. The singer expresses their hurt and anger at being mocked by their former lover and asks for divine intervention in seeking justice for their mistreatment.
