Maihuen de los Angeles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me oprime el corazón
Que me oprime el corazón
Supieras que tu desprecio
Hace más grande mi amor
Tengo un dolor en el alma
No puedo odiarte
Aun que tu no me quieras
Dejame amarte
Te aseguro mi vida
No puedo odiarte
Dejame amarte si!
Eres mi sueño
Te clavaste en mi alma
Eres mi dueño
Yo no puedo olvidarte
Dejame amarte
The lyrics of Maihuen de los Angeles's song "Dejame Amarte" touch upon the emotions of heartbreak, unrequited love and a longing to be loved despite being rejected by the object of one's affection. The opening stanza speaks of a "pain in the soul" that oppresses the heart, expressing the intensity of the hurt and the impact it has on the persona's emotions. The following lines suggest that the rejected one's disdain towards the persona is only fueling their love and passion for them, exacerbating the pain and creating a greater yearning for their affection.
Despite the harsh reality that this love may not be reciprocated, the persona declares that they cannot hate the other person even though they do not feel the same way. It is clear that the persona is willing to accept the spurned love and cherish it despite the pain. In the subsequent lines, the persona pleads with the other person to let them love them anyway, despite the rejection. The chorus of the song becomes a plea for the other person to return the love that the persona feels for them, expressing them as their "dream" and "master".
