Matame
Leo Mattioli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay, mátame si no quieres estar conmigo
Ay, amor

Ay, mátame si no quieres estar conmigo
Ay, mátame, será mejor que cualquier castigo
Mátame si no quieres estar conmigo
Ay, mátame si no te sirvo ni como amante, ni como amigo
Ni como nada más, tan solo te quiero preguntar
¿Qué pasa contigo?

Dime si estás enamorada como yo de tí
Porque siento que no hay nada que quieres de mí
Y se te nota en la mirada
Porque este amor que siento es de verdad

Por eso mátame, si no quieres estar conmigo
Ay, amor

Ay, mátame si no quieres estar conmigo
Ay, mátame, será mejor que cualquier castigo
Mátame si no quieres estar conmigo
Ay, mátame si no te sirvo ni como amante, ni como amigo
Ni como nada más, tan solo quiero preguntar
¿Qué pasa contigo?

Dime si estás enamorada como yo de tí
Porque siento que no hay nada que quieres de mí
Y se te nota en la mirada
Porque este amor que siento es de verdad





Por eso mátame, si no quieres estar conmigo
Ay, mátame si no quieres estar conmigo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Leo Mattioli’s song “Matame” express an intense and desperate love, as the singer pleads for their lover to either reciprocate their feelings or end their life. Throughout the song, the singer is begging their partner to either commit to the relationship by admitting their love or killing them to end the pain of unrequited love. The chorus repeats the haunting claim “Ay, mátame si no quieres estar conmigo” which translates to “Kill me if you don’t want to be with me.” The singer believes that death would be a better punishment than the uncertainty and emotional pain of not knowing if their love is returned.


In the verses, the singer pleads with their lover to confess their true feelings. The lyrics “Dime si estás enamorada como yo de tí / Porque siento que no hay nada que quieres de mí” which translates to “Tell me if you are in love with me like I am with you /Because I feel like there is nothing you want from me” express the singer’s desperation for any sign of reciprocation. The singer is aware that their lover’s lack of reciprocation is evident in their eyes and gestures, and despite their intense love, they are aware that the relationship cannot continue without mutual feelings.
