El Bilingüe
Los Tigres Del Norte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que la conocí hace un mes, cuando ella vino a la Noria
A sus padres conocí, de mi padre eran amigos
Un día se fueron de aquí a los Estados Unidos
Hace un mes que están aquí, vinieron de vacaciones
Y cuando la conocí, latieron dos corazones
No sabe hablar español, cuando le hablo no me entiende
I wish to tell you in this song how much I love you
I hope my love can make you come back pretty soon
Never forget to return here, I'll be waiting
Alone and praying
Come back, release me, give me freedom, give me love
Cuando ella vuelva otra vez, escuchará mis canciones
Si las cantaré en inglés, me aprenderé las lecciones
Y si se quede quedar, le compraré una casita
Y ahí le voy a enseñar spanish a mi pochita
I wish to tell you in this song how much I love you
I hope my love can make you come back pretty soon
Never forget to return here, I'll be waiting
Alone and praying
Come back, release me, give me freedom, give me love
Quiero decirte en mi canción que te amo tanto
Espero pronto mi amor te haga regresar
Nunca te olvides que esperando tu regreso
Estaré preso, regresa pronto, dame amor y libertad
The lyrics of Los Tigres Del Norte's song El Bilingüe tell the story of a man who falls in love with a woman who doesn't speak Spanish, the language of his native Mexico. He decides to study English so he can communicate with her and write her love letters. He met her a month prior when she came to Noria with her parents, who were friends with his father. Her family is currently on vacation in the United States, and she doesn't understand Spanish, but she understands the kisses he gives her. Through the song, he expresses his love for her and his desire for her to come back to Mexico, where he promises to teach her Spanish and buy her a little house.
The song speaks to the lengths people will go to for love and the challenges that come with falling in love with someone from a different culture or who speaks a different language. It also highlights the importance of communication in relationships and the desire to be understood by one's significant other. Overall, the song is a heartfelt declaration of love and a plea for the woman to come back and be with him.
