Ódiame
Los Davalos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ódiame sin medida, ni clemencia;
odio quiero más que indiferencia,
porque el rencor hiere menos que el olvido (2)
Sí tú me odias, quedaré yo convencido
de que me amaste mujer con insistencia
pero ten presente, de acuerdo a la experiencia,
Pero ten presente, de acuerdo a la experiencia,
que tan sólo se odia lo querido (bis)
¿Qué vale más yo humilde, tú orgullosa?
¿O vale más tu débil hermosura?
Piensa bien que en fondo de la fosa
llevaremos la misma vestidura. (bis)
Sí tú me odias, quedaré yo convencido
de que me amaste mujer con insistencia;
pero ten presente, de acuerdo a la experiencia,
que tan sólo se odia lo querido
Pero ten presente, de acuerdo a la experiencia,
que tan sólo se odia lo querido (bis)
Los Davalos's song "Odiame" is a bolero that delves into the complicated nature of love and hate. The song opens with a plea for the singer to be hated by the woman he loves because it would be better than being ignored. He begs for her hatred, as it would mean that she cared enough to take such a strong emotion towards him. The repetition of "odio quiero más que indiferencia" indicates the desperate need for some sort of emotion, no matter how negative it may be.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that being hated by the woman he loves may not necessarily mean that she didn't care for him at one point. He claims that "tan solo se odia lo querido," meaning that hate and love can be two sides of the same coin. The singer appears to be trying to come to terms with the end of a relationship, recognizing that even if it has ended badly, it still meant something.
The last verse is a reflection on the transience of life and the futility of pride. The singer asks whether their differences, such as his humbleness and her pride, truly matter when they will both end up in the same grave dressed in the same manner. The repetition of "pero ten presente, de acuerdo a la experiencia, que tan solo se odia lo querido" underscores the theme that love and hate are inextricably linked and often exist side by side.
Overall, "Odiame" is a poignant exploration of the complex emotions that love and breakups can bring. The song manages to evoke these feelings without being overly sentimental and instead focuses on a mature and grounded outlook on relationships.
