Esta Noche
La Rondalla del Amor de Saltillo & Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para ver si me puedo quitar
Una pena que traigo en al alma
Que me agobia y que me haré llorar
Si me encuentro por ahí con la muerte
A lo macho no la he de temer
Si su amor lo perdí para siempre
Ya traté de vivir sin mirarla
Ya luché por no ser infeliz
Y tan solo encontré dos caminos
O lograrla o dejar de vivir
Ésta noche le doy serenata,
No me importa perder o ganar,
Ésta noche le canto a la ingrata,
Tres canciones que la hagan llorar.
Si me matan al pie de su reja,
A lo macho me harían un favor,
Que más puedo pedirle a la vida,
Que morirme juntito a mi amor.
Ya traté de vivir sin mirarla,
Ya luche por no ser infeliz,
Y tan solo encontré dos caminos,
O dejarla o dejar de vivir.
The lyrics of La Rondalla del Amor de Saltillo & Pedro Infante's song Esta Noche talk about a man going out for a night of revelry to forget the burden weighing heavily on his soul. He is experiencing a profound sadness that makes him cry, and he hopes that the party can distract him from his sorrows. Despite this, he also reflects on the different paths that his life can take, depending on whether or not he is successful in his romantic pursuits.
The lyrics express the idea that he is prepared to face even death, as long as he does not have to live without his love. He has tried to move on and live without the object of his affections, but he cannot help but feel a deep longing that pushes him towards two options - either winning her back, or giving up on life altogether. The passage portrays the struggle between his overwhelming emotions, and his determination to overcome the challenges in front of him.
