Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
dijeron pa´ que me dejaras
el no puede ofrecerte nada
el no tiene nada
Hiciste caso ha esas palabras
oh fueron mas fuertes sus espinas
pude comprender tu silencio
Y fuiste tu
oh la que sin importante
me tiraste al mar y jamas
preguntaste si sabia nadar
y solo naufragando pude continuar
Pidiendo un salvavidas que
venga ha buscar ha un hombre
que se muere sin tener razon
que su unico pecado
fue brindar amor
que su unico tesoro
fue su corazon
Nunca tuve fortuna
solo mi nobleza
nunca tuve la suerte
de tener riquezas
solo mis virtudes que me
hicieron fuerte
oh solo ese cariño grande
hacia la gente
Y fuiste tu
la que sin importante
oh me tiraste al mar y jamas
preguntaste si sabia nadar
y solo naufragando pude continuar
Pidiendo un salvavidas que
venga ha buscar ha un hombre
que se muere sin tener razon
que su unico pecado
oh fue brindar amor
que su unico tesoro
que su corazon
un gran corazon
The song "Me Tiraste al Mar" by La Silver Chance tells the story of a man who has been rejected by the woman he loves because of his lack of material possessions. The first verse relays the words that the man heard from others, that he is a vagabond and has nothing to offer her. The woman listens to these words and eventually decides to leave him. The second verse reveals the heartbreak of the man as he realizes that she left him because he was poor, despite knowing that she loved him.
The chorus talks about how the woman threw him into the sea without asking if he could swim. He struggles to stay afloat but manages to stay alive. As he floats in the water, he calls out for someone to come save him. He feels that he is dying, but his only sin was to love someone with all his heart, without expecting anything in return. The song ends with the man appealing to anyone who will listen to come rescue him and save his great heart.
The song touches on an issue that is relatable to many people – being judged based on financial status. It also highlights the fact that true love is not about material possessions, but about the heart. The lyrics are easy to understand, made even more impactful by the passionate delivery of the singer.
