El Conquistador
Los Acosta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Una linda chiquilla
De buen corazon
Que se enamoro de un conquistador
Con un ramo de flores
Le bajo las estrellas y el sol
Con tantos detalles
Ella todo le dio
Pero aquel muchacho

Un dia se marcho
Desesperada una noche del pueblo Llorando salio
Siguiendolo a el
Ciega de amor
Ella lo buscaba
Por cualquier rincon
Lloraba en las calles
Su gran desepcion
Siguiendolo a el
Con tristeza y dolor
Va sufriendo la pena
Del que la olvido
Pisando las huellas del
El Conquistador

Sus papas no aceptaban
Esa relacion
Pues aquel extraño
Era conquistador no paso por su mente
Que un amor tan grande fuera una maldicion

Siguiendolo a el
Ciega de amor
Ella lo buscaba
Por cualquier rincon
Lloraba en las calles
Su gran desepcion
Siguiendolo a el
Con tristeza y dolor
Va sufriendo la pena
Del que la olvido
Pisando las huellas del

El Conquistador.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Acosta's song "El Conquistador" tell a story of a young girl who falls in love with a conquistador, despite her parents' disapproval. She gives him everything, including her heart, and follows him blindly wherever he goes. However, one day he leaves her, and she is desperate and heartbroken. She wanders around crying and searching for him, but he is nowhere to be found. Her parents warned her that their love was a curse, but she didn't want to listen. Now, she is left alone to suffer the pain of his abandonment.

The song speaks to the universal pain of unrequited love and the despair that follows when someone we put our faith in and give our hearts to, leaves. The singer is blinded by love and willing to overlook the warning signs and the advice of those who care about her. She follows this man who ultimately abandons her, leaving her with only regret and heartache. This story is relatable to anyone who has ever loved someone who didn't reciprocate those feelings.
