Destino Cruel
Los Tigres Del Norte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bien de mi vida
Dueña de mi alma
Porque te vas
Mira que paso toda mi vida
Nomas pensando si volveras
Nunca me olvides
Que yo me quedo
Pensando en ti
Si tu has llorado
Ya no estes triste
Piensa en los besos
Que un dia te di
Destino cruel
Te llevaste mi amor
Ya de tanto sufrir
Ya siento el dolor
Ya no puedo llorar
Ni tomando licor
Es el destino
Que nos separa
Tal vez mi suerte
Sea llorar
Si un dia en la vida
Vuelvo a encontrarte
Para jamas dejarte de amar
Destino cruel
Te llevaste mi amor
Ya de tanto sufrir
Ya siento el dolor
Ya no puedo llorar
Ni tomando licor
In Los Tigres Del Norte's song "Destino Cruel," the singer is lamenting the departure of their lover. They are wondering why their partner left them and cannot stop thinking about their return. The singer is expressing a deep sense of loss and heartache. They urge their lover not to forget about them and try to console themselves by reminiscing about the kisses they once shared. The chorus repeats the phrase "Destino cruel" which means a cruel destiny, and highlights the pain and sadness that the singer is experiencing. The singer says they have suffered so much that they can no longer cry, even if they drink liquor. Despite admitting that their separation may be their destiny, the singer still hopes that they will one day be reunited with their love and be able to love them endlessly.
The song embodies the traditional and widely popular style of Mexican music known as "norteño" that originated in Northern Mexico. It is a genre that incorporates traditional Mexican instruments such as the accordion and the bajo sexto. Los Tigres Del Norte are considered one of the most successful groups of norteño music.
Los Tigres Del Norte is a band consisting of four siblings, Jorge, Hernán, Eduardo, and Luis Hernández. They formed their group in 1968 in San Jose, California.
"Destino Cruel" was released in 1972 as part of their album "Un Dia A La Vez," which translates to "One Day at a Time." The album was a commercial success and went on to become one of their most popular releases.
The band is known for the socially conscious nature of their lyrics, often touching on issues such as immigration, border politics, and drug trafficking.
The song has been covered by many artists over the years, including Vicente Fernández, an iconic Mexican singer and actor.
In 2020, Los Tigres Del Norte was nominated for the prestigious Kennedy Center Honor, which recognizes artists for their contributions to culture, art, and entertainment.
The band operates their own music label, Los Tigres Del Norte Music, which has released over 50 albums throughout the years.
Their song "La Granja" is considered one of the most controversial songs of their career, as it touches on the issue of drug trafficking and has been banned in some parts of Mexico.
Los Tigres Del Norte are known for playing benefit concerts and supporting various philanthropic causes, particularly ones that relate to the Latino community in the United States.
