Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te abrazaba yo en el puente
Nos quizimos de un jalon
Y en las tardes tan serenas
Por las verdes arboledas
Me robaste el corazon
Ya no supe donde andabas
Y todito se acabo
Para el colmo de mi suerte
Fue creciendo la corriente
Y hasta el puente se rompio
El puente roto le llamo yo
A tu carino que se rajo
Asi dejaste mi corazon
Hecho pedasos con tu traicion
Ahora tu en el puente roto
Abrazada con el otro
Ni te acuerdas de mi amor
Porque asi son las mujeres
Cuando el hombre mas las quiere
Siempre pagan con traicion
El puente roto le llamo yo
A tu carino que se rajo
Asi dejaste mi corazon
Hecho pedasos con tu traicion
Ahora tu en el puente roto
Abrazada con el otro
Ni te acuerdas de mi amor
Por que asi son las mujeres
Cuando el hombre mas las quiere
Siempre pagan con traicion
The song "El Puente Roto" by Las Hermanas Calle tells the story of a love that once thrived on a broken bridge. The first verse expresses the deep love that the singer had for their partner, embracing them on the bridge and falling in love instantly. The second verse describes the serene afternoons spent together, strolling through the green trees while the singer's heart was being stolen away.
As time passed, things began to change. The water rose and the couple grew apart, leading to heartache and devastation. The bridge that was once a symbol of their love eventually broke and became a metaphor for the shattered relationship. The chorus repeats the phrase "El puente roto le llamo yo" which translates to "I call it the broken bridge", emphasizing the singer's pain and frustration towards the situation. The final verse reflects on the betrayal of the partner, as they are now held in a different embrace, completely forgetting about the love that once existed. The song ultimately highlights the theme of love, loss, and the harsh realities of relationships.
