Carta de Amor
Los Rabanes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que no te guardo odio solo pienso en ti
Ya todo acabo, lo nuestro murió
Por eso te mando esta carta de amor
No te basto, con tu traición
Soy un alma en pena a puro dolor
A donde tu estés, te quiero decir
Esta es mi última carta de amor, mi amor
Por eso a tu lado no quiero volver
Me fuiste infiel, se que lloraras
Ahora marchita mi dulce clavel
Talvez sentirás, profundo dolor
Releyendo esta carta de amor
Jugaste conmigo, te fuiste con el
Por eso con sangre te escribo mujer
Punto y aparte te sigo explicando
Todas mis noches llenas de llanto
Viendo tu foto en mi habitación
Y tú con él, asiendo el amor
Yo estaba ciego, no me di cuenta
La clase de bruja que me enamoro
Por eso cariño con letras en sangre
Te escribo mi última carta de amor, mi amor
Duerme con él, mi dulce querer
Por eso a tu lado no quiero volver
Me fuiste infiel, se que lloraras
Ahora marchita mi dulce clavel
Tal vez sentirás, profundo dolor
Releyendo esta carta de amor
Jugaste con migo, te fuiste con él
Por eso con sangre te escribo mujer
Se que te olvidare, tu lloraras
Cuando estés con el me extrañaras
Se que te olvidare, tu lloraras
Cuando estés con él me extrañaras
Se que te olvidare, tu lloraras
Cuando estés con él me extrañaras
Se que te olvidare, tu lloraras
Cuando estés con él me extrañaras
Se que te olvidare, tu lloraras
Cuando estés con él me extrañaras.
The lyrics to Los Rabanes's song Carta de Amor is a heart-wrenching expression of a broken heart after being betrayed by a loved one. The first stanza begins with the singer expressing their feelings towards the person who caused them so much pain. They tell them that they do not harbor any grudges or hatred towards them, but they can't stop thinking about them. The song then moves onto the heart of the matter, the person betrayed their trust, and now their love is dead. The letter is the singer's final goodbye to their love, and they urge them to sleep with their new lover, as they do not want to go back to their side. The verse ends with the singer telling their love that they know they will cry for them when they read the letter.
The second stanza continues with the singer's confessions of how they spent their sleepless nights with tears in their eyes, looking at their love's picture in their room while they were with their new lover. The singer realizes they were blinded by love and couldn't see that their partner was not the person they thought they were. The chorus repeats once again, with the singer telling their love to forget them, and that they will cry for them when they are with the new lover.
