Los Hombres No Deben Llorar
Leonardo Paniagua Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Un presentimiento en mi pensamiento me dió la verdad.
La humilde casita que fue nuestro nido muy triste quedó
Sólo tu perfume quedó en el recuerdo de aquel gran amor.
Tu procedimiento me hizo padecer
Dejando en mi pecho una herida cruel
Y al verte rendida, por otra ilusión
De celos y angustia mataste mi amor.
Dicen que los hombres no deben llorar
Por una mujer que ha pagado mal
Pero yo no pude contener mi llanto
Cerrando los ojos, me puse a llorar.
Pero yo no pude contener mi llanto
Cerrando los ojos me puse a llorar.
Dicen que los hombres no deben llorar
Por una mujer que ha pagado mal
Pero yo no pude contener mi llanto
Cerrando los ojos me puse a llorar. X2
Pero yo no pude contener mi llanto
Cerrando los ojos me puse a llorar.
The lyrics of Leonardo Paniagua's "Los Hombres No Deben Llorar" depict the heartfelt sadness of losing a loved one. The singer laments the loss of his partner and the painful realization that their humble home, once filled with love, is now empty and forlorn. The scent of his partner's perfume lingers only in his memory, a sad reminder of their great love. The singer's pain is further compounded by the manner of the breakup, which left a cruel wound in his heart. Despite his efforts to resist, the singer's love is ultimately killed by jealousy and anguish.
The chorus of the song, "Dicen que los hombres no deben llorar, por una mujer que ha pagado mal" (They say men shouldn't cry for a woman who has done them wrong), suggests the societal expectation that men should be stoic in the face of heartbreak. However, the singer cannot help but shed tears for the loss of his love. He closes his eyes and weeps, unable to contain his sorrow.
This poignant ballad captures the universal experience of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from lost love.
