Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te vas con otro porque pretendes vivir mejor
Por soy pobre te convencieron que me dejaras
Tendras con otro lo que tu quieras menos amor
En la capilla juraste amarme toda la vida
El senor cura representando la ley de dios
Dio la sentencia de estar unidos hasta la muerte
Y ahora te atreves proponerme separacion
Te puedes ir a donde quiera con quien tu quieras
Te puedes ir pero el divorcio por ser pecado no te lo doy
Te puedes ir a donde quieras con quien tuquieras
Te puedes ir pero el divorcio por ser pecado no te lo doy
The lyrics of Los Traileros del Norte's song "El Divorcio" depict a conversation between a man and a woman, where the woman expresses her desire to divorce him because he is poor and she wants a better life with someone else. The man reminds her of their wedding vows, where they had promised to love each other for life in the presence of God and his representative, the priest. He tells her that he understands her desire to leave him but cannot grant her the divorce because it is a sin.
The lyrics show the societal pressures and expectations that can lead people to break their promises and commitments. The woman is convinced by others that she deserves someone better than the man she married, solely based on his financial status. The man, on the other hand, is torn between his love for his wife and his adherence to his religious beliefs. The lyrics also highlight the debate around divorce in conservative societies, where religious values often clash with individualistic choices.
Overall, "El Divorcio" is a poignant song that reflects on the complexities of human relationships and the role of social and religious norms in shaping them.
