La Mataré
Loquillo y Trogloditas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Enloquecia sólo a su contacto
La he conservado en la memoria
Tal como estaba, siempre a mi lado
Nunca me juró su amor
Lo creía eterno yo
Y ella me sonría y miraba hacía el mar
Ella nunca bebía, ni la vi llorando
Yo hubiera muerto por su risa
Hubiera sido su feliz esclavo
Qué dolor sucio y traidor
Me envenena el corazón
Sé que ella nunca enloquecio
Jamas perdió el control
Quiero verla bailar entre los muertos
La cintura morena que me volvió loco
Llevo un velo de sangre de la mirada
Y un deseo en el alma, que jamás la encuentré
Solo quiero que una vez
Algo la haga con mover
Que no la encuentré jamás
O sé que la mataré
Por favor
Solo quiero matarla
A punta de navaja
Besandola una vez más
The lyrics of Loquillo Y Los Trogloditas's song La Mataré are about a man reminiscing about a woman who was once very important to him. He describes how she used to sit on his lap and how her mere touch would drive him wild. He remembers her fondly and hasn't forgotten her, but he also has some bitterness towards her. She never professed her love to him, but he believed it was eternal. She also never drank or cried, but he would have done anything to make her happy. However, he feels a poisonous pain in his heart now as he realizes that she never lost control, while he has.
He then expresses a desire to see her dance among the dead, admiring her hips that once drove him crazy. However, he knows deep down that he will never find her and that the desire to do harm to her is creeping up. He pleads with himself to resist the urge to kill her, but admits that he only wants to kiss her one last time before he meets her violent end.
The song's lyrics are quite dark and explore themes of obsession, jealousy, and violence. The singer's emotions towards the woman he desires seem to be conflicted, as he expresses both love and hate towards her. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man consumed by his emotions and desires, to the point where he is willing to resort to deadly violence to satisfy them.
