Margarita
Little Joe Lyrics

The song "Margarita" by Little Joe talks about a man who is deeply in love with a woman named Margarita, yet she has caused him much pain and heartache. The opening line, "Para que me sirve el vino si no logro aborrecerte" (What good is wine if I cannot stop loving you), shows the man's dilemma. He cannot let go of his love for Margarita, even though she has hurt him deeply. He feels like his entire being is consumed by his love for her, as evidenced by the line "Todo se me va en quererte" (Everything is spent on loving you). He seems to recognize the futility of his love, as he laments his "maldito destino" (cursed fate).

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "que puntada te alcanzaste pérfida mujer" (what a stitch you made, treacherous woman), which shows the man's anger and disappointment towards Margarita. He never thought she would hurt him so deeply, and her actions have caused a wound that will never truly heal. He believes that Margarita will regret what she has done for the rest of her life, as evidenced by the line "te ha de arder toda la vida" (it will burn you for life).

The final verse of the song talks about Margarita's beauty and desirability, but also implies that she is promiscuous and fickle. The man ultimately wants Margarita to come back to him, but only if she is humbled and willing to grovel. The line "toda mula descarriada vuelve siempre al bebedero" (every wayward mule will always return to the watering hole) shows that he believes Margarita will eventually come back to him, no matter how much she strays.
