La Cumparsita
Leopoldo Federico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que aún dentro de mi alma,
conservo aquel cariño
que tuve para ti...
Quién sabe si supieras
que nunca te he olvidado,
volviendo a tu pasado
te acordarás de mí...
Los amigos ya no vienen
ni siquiera a visitarme,
nadie quiere consolarme
en mi aflicción...
Desde el día que te fuiste
siento angustias en mi pecho,
decí, percanta, ¿qué has hecho
de mi pobre corazón?
Sin embargo,
yo siempre te recuerdo
con el cariño santo
que tuve para ti.
Y estás en todas partes,
pedazo de mi vida,
y aquellos ojos que fueron mi alegría
los busco por todas partes
y no los puedo hallar.
Al cotorro abandonado
ya ni el sol de la mañana
asoma por la ventana
como cuando estabas vos,
y aquel perrito compañero,
que por tu ausencia no comía,
al verme solo el otro día
también me dejó...
The lyrics of Leopoldo Federico & Roberto Grela's song "La cumparsita" express a sense of longing, nostalgia, and heartbreak. The singer sings about still holding love in their soul for someone who left them. They wonder if the person would even know or understand that they have never forgotten them, and that returning to their past would make them remember the singer.
The song portrays a feeling of isolation and abandonment. The singer laments that friends no longer visit or offer comfort in their distress. Since the day the person they love left, the singer has felt anguish in their chest and asks the person what they have done to their poor heart.
Despite the heartache, the singer still remembers the person with a deep and pure affection. They are present in every aspect of their life, and the singer longingly searches for the eyes that once brought them joy but can no longer find them.
The lyrics further depict a scene of abandonment, where even the sun no longer shines through the window in the morning and a companion dog, who stopped eating in the person's absence, has also left them alone.
Overall, the lyrics of "La cumparsita" speak of unrequited love, pain, and the everlasting imprint someone can have on our lives even after they are gone.
