El Pecador
Los Tres Reyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reconozco, señor, que soy culpable.
Se que fui, pecador, imperdonable, …
Hoy te pido señor, me vuelvas bueno, porque tengo un amor,
limpio y sereno

De lo malo, de ayer, hoy me arrepiento
Es por eso, que vengo, hasta tu templo
Hazme bueno señor, te pertenezco
Soy tu hijo también, y lo merezco
Y si voy a seguir, siendo igual, que antes fui
No la dejes venir, a llorar, junto a mi
Quítame su amor, porque soy un pecador,
Porque soy un pecador, quítame su amor,
Pero a ella, a ella, a ella, a ella, a ella, a ella, a ella, a ella,
Pero a ella, no la dejes sufrir, no la dejes sufrir,

Y si voy a seguir, siendo igual, que antes fui
No la dejes venir, a llorar, junto a mi
Quítame su amor, porque soy un pecador,
Porque soy un pecador, quítame su amor,
Pero a ella, a ella, a ella, a ella, a ella, a ella, a ella, a ella,
Pero a ella, no la dejes sufrir, no la dejes sufrir,
Te lo pido yo, te lo pido yo, hazme bueno señor,
hazme bueno señor,
Soy un pecador, soy un pecador, te lo pido yo, te lo pido yo,




hazme bueno señor, hazme bueno señor,
Soy un pecador, soy un pecador

Overall Meaning

The song "El Pecador" by Los Tres Reyes is a heartfelt confession of a man who realizes his sins and begs for forgiveness from God. In the first verse, the singer admits his guilt, acknowledging that he was a sinner and feels undeserving of mercy. However, he has a pure and calm love which he hopes will make him worthy of redemption. The second verse shows him repenting for his past and seeking forgiveness by coming to God's temple. He affirms his loyalty to God, pleading to be made good and to be accepted as His son. He also recognizes that if he continues to live in sin, he will be unworthy of his love's presence and asks God to remove her love from his life if that's what it takes for him to change. The chorus repeats an appeal to not let the love suffer because of his faults and begs for mercy to be made good.


The song shows a deep sense of self-awareness, humility, and the desire to change for the better. The singer recognizes that his past had been reckless, hurtful, and that he has been a sinner. But he also understands that he has a chance to redeem himself, overcome his weaknesses, and become a better person. His pure love for someone has awakened a longing for purity and goodness in him, leading him to seek divine guidance and forgiveness. The song is simple, yet powerful and deeply emotional, with evocative lyrics that speak to the heart of anyone who has ever felt the need to repent for their actions.
