She started singing at a very young age. Cristóbal Sansano became her first producer. After signing with Sony Music, she recorded her debut album Mónica Naranjo in 1994, resulting in the hit songs "Sola", "El amor coloca" and "Óyeme".
In April 1996, the artist received acclamations during a performance at Mexico City's Teatro Metropolitan (Metropolitan Theater). Taking advantage of her popularity, a second album, "Palabra de Mujer", was issued. The album was a hit, managing to sell more than 2.5 million copies in the United States and Spain, thanks to songs such as "Desátame", "Pantera en libertad", "Las campanas del amor", "Entender el amor" or "Empiezo a recordarte".
In 2000, she released her third album, Minage, a homage to the great Italian diva Mina, with songs from "Sobreviviré", "If you leave me now" and "Enamorada". They were a complete success and her native country became dedicated to Mónica. After having achieved big acceptance in Europe, she managed to sing with Pavarotti and Mina herself.
In 2001, she released Chicas Malas, an album with several collaborations, among them Diane Warren, Gregg Alexander, John Reid, and many more. It was an excessively commercial dance album that did not achieve the success hoped for. But, in this way the songs "No voy a llorar" and "Chicas malas" continue in the mind of millions of persons.
In 2003, as claimed by her fans, she recorded the English version of "Chicas Malas", "Bad Girls".
After a long musical rest, Mónica returned with a 'greatest hits' album ("Colección Privada"), a big success that only contains one new song, "Enamorada de ti". The single and the album were both smash hits. With this album, Mónica closes a stage in her life and her career. In December, she sang with Rocío Jurado "Punto de partida" in her TV homage Rocío... Siempre.
Mónica Naranjo returned a few months ago with her new smash single "Europa" in 2008, from the album Tarántula.
Amame o Dejame
Mónica Naranjo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why no volver la vista atrás de mí
Fueron momentos tan al límite
Que no quisiera mencionar.
Imaginando siempre el que dirán
De mí si ahora tú te vas
Aunque yo seguiré amándote
Ámame o déjame
Pero no me tortures
Hasta el amanecer
Átame o librame
De esta dulce condena
De carne why piel.
La vida es corta why yo sigo aquí,
Mirando al Cielo sin hablar,
Pues el silencio reina en el lugar
Donde me amaste sin parar.
Si piensas tú gaviota en libertad
Que pierdo el tiempo en esperar
Las esperanzas se me agotan ya
Why mi coraje muerto está.
Amame o dejame
Pero no me tortures
Hasta el amanecer
Amame o déjame
Atame o librame.
Amame o dejame
Pero no me tortures
Hasta el amanecer
Atame o librame
De esta dulce condena
De carne why piel.
The lyrics of Monica Naranjo's "Amame o Dejame" speak to a desperate plea for her lover to either love her or leave her, but to stop torturing her with uncertainty. Reflecting on past moments that were intense and difficult, she imagines the judgment of others if her lover were to leave her now. However, she vows to continue loving them even if they go, believing they will return one day. The chorus repeats the same message, pleading for her lover to either commit to her or let her go, to either tie her down or set her free from this sweet yet agonizing prison of flesh and skin. The song ends with a sense of resignation and sadness, with Naranjo alone, looking up at the sky in silence where she once loved without limits.
The lyrics of "Amame o Dejame" reflect a common theme in love songs of wanting and needing commitment from a partner. The use of imagery and figurative language, such as comparing her love to a sweet yet agonizing prison of flesh and skin, adds depth and emotional complexity to the song. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the sense of desperation and urgency in Naranjo's plea for clarity and decision from her lover.
