Perdoname
Los Chichos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
la luna si yo no soy de este mundo
y a mí me lleve la luna.
La luna, la luna por la ribera del río
que yo más quiero donde mi sombra navega.
Poco a poco, poco a poco
renaciendo cada día
que es preciso hacerse fuerte sin renunciar a la vida.
dejo libre al corazón en otro mundo, volando.
Poco a poco más cerca la luna está.
La luna, que me lleve la luna
si yo no soy de este mundo
y a mí me lleve la luna.
La luna, la luna por la ribera M río
que yo más quiero donde mi sombra navega.
apártate de la soledad
no llores, ríe, ya verás
todo en la vida a ti te enseñará
que si tu sufres perderás
tu solo piensa en disfrutar
perdóname, pues que quisiera yo
compréndelo no puedo
vivir contigo amor ohhh
perdóname, pues que quisiera yo
compréndelo no puedo
vivir contigo amor ohhh
The song "Perdoname" by Los Chichos contains themes of longing for a connection to something beyond this world, while also embracing the present life and its challenges. The use of the moon as a symbol for this desire is prevalent throughout the song. The first stanza sets the tone with the repeated line "La luna, que me lleve" which translates to "the moon, that it may take me". The singer is expressing a desire to be taken away from this world by the moon, suggesting that they feel out of place or disconnected from their current reality. The following lines evoke a sense of nostalgia for a place by a river where the singer's shadow, or perhaps their true self, can freely travel.
As the song progresses, the singer encourages a gradual process of personal growth and strength-building. They state that it is important to be strong without giving up on life, and to allow their heart to soar freely in another world while staying rooted in the present. The repetition of "poco a poco" emphasizes that these changes will take time and patience. The chorus then comes in, with the singer asking for forgiveness and expressing their inability to live with the love interest, although the reason behind this is not explicitly stated. The song ends with an uplifting message to move away from loneliness and embrace joy, while acknowledging that life's challenges will teach important lessons.
Overall, "Perdoname" is a song about seeking connection and growth while dealing with the difficulties of life. The moon and the river symbolize a desire for escape, while the encouragement to stay strong and embrace life suggests a willingness to face those difficulties head-on.
