Me preocupa sin ti
Leo Mattioli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me preocupa que me estoy sintiendo cada vez más viejo
Pues a veces ni mi rostro tengo ganas de afeitar
Este oficio de cantante no sé cuánto va a durarme
Porque el whisky y el cigarro me están tirando a matar

Es algo que no puedo abandonar
Y esto me pasa desde que no estás
Y sé que nunca volverás
Y sé que nunca volverás
Te necesito para vivir
Eres lo único que me da fuerzas para seguir

Y te necesito como mi respirar, ¡ay, amor!

Me preocupa si no vuelves, en qué acabará mi vida
Sé que mal terminaré, pues te tengo que confesar
Que este whisky que reemplaza ya la sangre de mis venas
Y este humo del cigarro que me está haciendo llorar

Es algo que no puedo abandonar
Son los vicios que tengo desde que no estás
Y sé que nunca volverás
Y sé que nunca volverás




Te necesito para vivir
Eres lo único que me da fuerzas para seguir

Overall Meaning

The song “Me preocupa sin ti” by Leo Mattioli talks about the singer’s worries and struggles that he is going through since his loved one is no longer with him. The opening lines of the song state that he feels older and sometimes doesn't even feel like shaving. This could be interpreted as the singer suffering from severe depression and losing interest in his passions as well as his personal appearance due to the absence of his love. The theme of the song is largely centered around the singer’s dependence on his lover, who has left him and never returned. He notes how he needs his lover to survive as she is the only one who gives him the strength to keep on going.


As the song progresses, the singer talks about how he is unsure of how long he can carry on his career as a singer, being pushed towards the end by the harmful habit of drinking whiskey and smoking, which seem to be taking a toll on his health. The song's chorus “te necesito para vivir” or “I need you to live”, is repeated several times and is one of the most crucial aspects of the song which captures the essence of the singer’s emotions. The song's outro reveals how much the singer worries about the impact of the lost love on his life and how helpless he feels without her.
